    for clogged sunroof drains I normally use air tools and high pressure to clear the lines out.

      I was under the impression that the front sunroof drains went straight down to the holes in front of the doors, but it appears I was mistaken? The thing is, if there indeed is a whole boxed part of the monocoque that is being used as a holding tank (effectively) we should have so many reports of rusting it wouldn't even be funny: does anyone have a picture of a section?

        Hmm.. Didn't know that...
