Hey guys,
Well it's that time of year when seals and gutters are being put to the test. My problem is the rear drain on the passenger side sunroof gutter. The front drain on the passenger side does a fine job, but only when the car is tilted forward. As you can imagine, i tend to get a few drops of water in the cabin now and then if the conditions are right.

So, any ideas on cleaning out that rear gutter? It seems to be far enough back that i can't see it.

Itried looking up the drain positions for the sunroof in the MB service manual, but it only lists a front drain. Maybe there is some junk up there that forms a little dam that holds the water from going in the front drain unless the car is tilted forward? Anyone else want to chime in?

I noticed when pouring water on the drivers side (which drains fine) that water drains out the front and rear of the car. On the passenger side, water only drains out front...leading me to believe the rear is blocked. Anyone have tips to getting that rear drain clean? I thought about blowing compressed air from the end of the drain under the car, but thought it would make a mess in the gutter.
