2005 X5 Sunroof Drains

[love2speed]

I am at the end of my rope with my pano roof.

Seems both front drains are clogged, I tried using compressed air right at the openeing, that didnt work. So I fed some thin poly tube (ice maker line) down the openeing, I could only feed it probably half way down the pillar post i then shot compressed air down the tube. Still nothing. I also tried running thin but firm flexible wire down the rains, but again got stopped at the pillar and still nothing. Lastly I shot compressed air from the bottom, just under the front quarter panels, I ran out of time and gave up and did not resolve the problem.

I always have to make sure I park my X5 with the rear end on the low side or water pools at the front of the roof and eventually leaks into the cabin. Water leaks onto the center console, into the glove box and onto the drive and passenger floor. It's just a matter of time when a short developes and somethign major happends to the electrical.

Should I start removing the pillar covers, will the drain hose be visible?

Anyone advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
