It isn't the most rugged of tool suppliers, but there is a place in this world for Harbor Freight Tools!
I have been looking for something good to clean out the drains, or ream the rear drain of the wagon as it leaks into the headliner when it rains. Seemed like the driver's side rear drain might have been clogged.
Many folks have talked about using weed eater trimmer line, but that just wasn't rigid enough. I needed something that wasn't too fat, but would still poke through the drains.
Here it is:

Drip Irrigation Kit

And it has a nice cheap price tag too!
It worked really well. Here is how it comes:



and then laid out straight



Plenty of length to even get through a wagon drain, which was my patient of choice.
First I started by taping around the area where the drain comes out {D pillar on wagons} to protect the paint and the edging. This is a metal spring type auger after all .



Now it isn't real easy to get something started in the drain hole, but the thin springy tip of this auger just "finds" it way into the drain opening with just a small amount of correct wiggling.



Then you just poke it through until it enters the sunroof area.





It is super easy to get it into the front drain, and then see it come out in between the door and front 1/4 panel.



All in all an effective little tool.....
