Procedure for Blowing out Drains

[Wausau 911]

I have seen the diagram for where they are, just not sure how how to get the compressor nozzle in the sunroof drain,,as I cant readily see it with roof open. Anything else I should know to do it properly? Thx for replies.

You will need a long, flexible nozzle to reach the drains, they are in the corners of the moon roof tray.

JFP, kinda figured I would need a tube extension, but even with a good shop light I can't see a drain hole. Am I suppose to remove the sunroof panel?

To achieve the sunroof rear drains make the headliner partialy detached, started at the top of the rear window. Please note, the drain tubes are highly vulnerable to leaks, be careful.

For my cabrio, I found it easier to use a garden sprayer with the long spray rod/tube (15 inches) to reach into the drains along the sides of the convertible top. I am sure this will work for coupes sunroof area where space is limited also.

An added benefit is that when I am done cleaning out the drain trays and drain tubes, I just fill water into the sprayer and spray water directly into the drain trays and tubes for flow testing.
