Default Found the problem to my leaky sunroof.

I posted about a week ago about me doing the water test and having a huge leak coming out from the sunroof. I found out what it was... Atleast I think i do. It's the front drain tube being clogged I think. I tried blowing through the tube, but i could tell somethng was clogging the passage. I blowed through the rear drain tube and that one was like blowing through a straw.

I dont have an air compressor to shoot down the tube. Does anyone know of any other ways to clean the tube out?

I wanted to pull the drain tube out, but I dont know how. And even if I did, I think i'd have a problem putting it back in. Does anyone have some instructions?

My brother's Volkswagen is at the dealer right now for the same problem. They said that the drainage system must be clogged. This is the 2nd time it happened with his Volkswagen. My Civic has never had this problem.

I fixed it.... Gues what i fixed it with..... A turkey baster (sp?) LOL! I stuck the end of it in the top of the drain tube and then with force I squished the ball real fast and then it started to unclogg... I added a little water to help it flush out. You COULD NOT IMAGINE how much **** came out of there. I swear it was a whole bunch of dirt and ****. Now the sunroof doesn't leak at all!!!! im so happy now im gona celebrate!
