I have a leak from our rains and its seems the sunroof drain is clogged.
1996 Q45. Bought new.
170600 miles Basically my city car.

Where and how can I fix this. Searching on this site did not come up with anything unless I did a bad search.

I would focus on the front two drains and put a little bit of compressed air through them. Follow up with some hot water. They are on the corners of the sun roof assembly. The rear ones have hoses that you can get to from the rear underneath where the muffler is and the other side where the rear pressure control unit would be if you had active suspension.

Try air on them to blow them out gently. You may have to replace the rubber parts after 3 decades.

The compressed air worked on the tiny drain.
