Step
1.Open your sunroof first and check to see any rubbish and sh*t around the corners and clear all that crap out. sorry no pics

2.pour water in the middle of the line of the sunroof and see if they are flooding on each corners they are 2 holes in the front corners left and right. sorry no pics

3.if both corners are flooding remove the rubber door trims and then the plastic part both side please be careful with the plastic part.http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/cabra69/Photo0402.jpghttp://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/cabra69/Photo0403.jpg

8. ok now after you take it out and the tube off you will end up with a lil pipe hanging out, poke the sh*t out of it untill you see water rushing out thats when you know you need the towels and nothing is clogging it. Pour more water in the corner that you doing and see if its running smoothly and not flooding at all.

9.okay now blow in to the tube as hard as you can :D and see that the tube is not block at all if you think there is run the wire down try to do this very careful you might poke holes in the tube then you pretty much F*ck side ways.

10.run the wire down and you will end up to the drainage hole and thats pretty much it. its located behind the fender and looks like this

11.after that hook back on the tube back how it is and do another water test on the corner and see if its coming out of the hole where the fender is ^^^^^ if it is your all set do the same with the other side and then repeat the step backwards=] CHEERING!!!!!
