leaky sunroof

i found the topic for w210 series but not for w211. anyway, the sunroof on my beloved 2005 e500 estate is leaking from the dome light above the driver's side visor. pulling back the roof, i find collected water on that side but not on the right side. must be a clogged drain?? i tried jamming a weed whacker line down the drain on both sides. i get about two feet on the right side and about 8 inches on the driver's side. probably jammed. i cannot though see the drain from any angle. i also cannot find the exhaust for the drain. where is it? i have seen pics for w210 but none for the w211. is the distal end hidden behind the plastics on the bottom? what pieces do i need to remove? any help would be super welcome. thanks!!!
