Leaking Sunroof

in Pontiac
Hi,
I've heard from sunroof shops that there are four drain plugs in these sunroofs that, if clogged, cause it to leak. The problem may be more than that, but thought I'd try to fix it myself if it's something simple. Does anyone know where the drains are and how to clean them? I live in the Northwest and the rains will be here anytime now. It's gradually been leaking more since my son got this car 2 years ago - now if it's been raining you get drenched when you turn. Thanks for any suggestions.

So find out where they are and don't be heavy handed with it. This could work if you're lucky!
The drains can be seen when the roof is open and you stand up through it, look in the corners around the track , you will see 4 holes one on each corner. If you do it yourself don't use air, I have used a electrical tool called a gold fish, it is a spring that electricians use to run wires through walls. I this NOT a fish TAPE. I stuck the gold fish on the end of a coat hanger electrical taped it to the end of the hangar so it wouldn't hang up in the tube. I ran it through the end of the tube where it comes out of the body then pulled it through the bottom. After that I used a transmission funnel to run 1 gallon of water to finish flushing out the gunk and to make sure the thing is clear. the spring leads the hanger around the tight turns that might be there without popping any tubes or poking holes in rubber tubes.
If you are not sure just take it in to have it done.
