Cleaning out sun roof drains

Sep 28, 2005 1 Replies

My sun roof decided to leak on me today (literally). When I got home and the rain stopped, I rolled the sunroof back and saw standing water in the grooves. Figuring the drains were blocked, I took a look and couldn't see anything. Scratching my head as to what to do, I decided to snake something down through the drain until it cleared the clog. Several tools were attempted without success, but a heavy duty mountain bike brake cable worked great- the right combination of flexibility and stiffness.



Hopefully the raindrops will no longer be falling on my head!


Great idea... Also, if you need something longer try a tandem mountain bike brake cable.

I'm gonna hit my bike parts box and get out a cable to put in my car tool box!
