Bin Flooding

OK, my right bin flooded on me, and ruined my old school Rotary Rocket magazine's so I'm quite pissed. I know the water comes from the sunroof drain. How do you guys clean the drain hole out? I've tried a ground wire from a wall outlet, but it only goes in about 18" then stops dead. Anyone?

Take a long straw and put it down the hole and blow baby!! It works wonders.

The rear sunroof drains only go about 18" anyway. They dump in the air vents out back by the triangle windows. Your wire is probably just bumping out against the molding. I use a thick enough gauge wire to just fit down the hole and it works every time.

Is there water in your spare tire area? IOf so, then it's the hatch hose that's clogged.
