Finally, a fix for clogged sunroof drain tubes
I had a shop clean the front drains while it was in for service. They blew them out with compressed air and said I was good to go. Family emergency came up, I left in my small car as it was 1,800 miles one way, then returning 2 months later, I noticed that all the windows were fogged up. Upon opening the door, 4-5" of water poured out on my legs, etc., They blew the hoses off the spigots up in the roof by the A-pillars. Lovely.
I cut out the end of the grommets so there would be less restrictions and I also opened up the access holes in the dash so alleviate the pain and cutting of flesh issue. That really helped. And I also created a new tool that makes the cleaning process fast and easy in the future, which is a flexible funnel that I fit onto the end of the hose on my shop vac and I vacuum those lines out up at the sunroof opening and they flow fast and clean after that process. Takes about 5 minutes now and I do it a few times a year as I live in the mountains with no garage or carport and it's not a clean environment.

Don't park under a tree!

I fixed my sunroof drains years ago and I started to get water on my passenger floor and rear passenger carpet. I checked my sunroof drains and found no clogs or leaks at all. I can start tearing things apart to find it, but is there another culprit someone else has come across to save me a few hours?
