    Sunroof Questions (seals and drains)

    1. What's the best way to clean the sunroof drains?

    2. on the sunroof, the seal comes in two parts. which goes in front and which goes in back?

    Thanks in advance,

    EDIT, nevermind on #2, I found the answer on realoem.com

    You can either use a plumbers snake to clean the drains or use compressed air, i believe those are the two most common practices.

      Also may need to use a catclaw to unbend the holes that someone crushed shut with a jack. PO of my car was the factory jack point master.

        I like to use a coathanger.

        the shorter seal goes to the front.

          my air gun came with a rubber nozzle that you can press up against the hole, specifically designed to clear lines. But yes if they are clogged, a plumbers snake or coat hanger might be neccessary. It's the black conical attachment in the picture.
