Sun roof drains

I have rain water running in at both front A posts. I gently blew out the front sunroof drains no clogs. It's dripping pretty good on to the E brake pedal. I am sick of driving around with an inch of water on the floor. Were do I access the drain hoses? How do I get to them? Thanks

The only way to know for sure that the drains are working is to pour a small amount of water at each corner of the sunroof frame. If no obstructions, you will see the water exit just behind each front wheel well.

The best way to clear the drains is to gently use a piece of flexable wire, such as a copper half of low-voltage house wire.

To reach the plastic tube connected to the sunroof drain, you need to remove the panel of the A post. The tube is connected just a few inches below the bottom of the sunroof frame.

If you remove the floor mats you should find a rubber plug on the floor. This is the easy way to get rid of this inch of a water on your feet
