Sunroof Drain Plugged #631440 07/29/05 08:56 PM

I haven't seen too many posts about sunroofs in here so this may be a shot in the dark.

Aside from compressed air and a wire coat-hangar, anyone have any ideas on how to get the "tree sploodge" out of the sunroof drain?

There appears to be two drains, located to the front of the sunroof recession on either side. The one on the left, in my case, is full of tree garbage and causes water to build up and eventually seeps into the celing of my 4Runner. This leads to water stains on the celing and the shorting of my alarm as water runs down the A-pillar into my dash....

.....here come the abortion jokes.... *shudder*

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I recently had to deal with water leaking and pooling by my left foot. Traced the leak back to the sun roof drains. I took it to the dealer and I was on my way in under 10 minutes (and they didn't charge me). They hit the drains with compressed air. Not aware of anyother means, however that thin wire sounds like it would do the job.
