sunroof drain location?

So I've installed my new saratoga sunroof top in my 86 GXL ....
While I was doing it, I noticed a crap-ton of rust from the old metal sunroof, and a lot more dirt and debris caked on up there from years of sitting in a field. The reason I got a new sunroof in was part in partial to stop water from getting in when it rains, the old sunroof was completely rusted through! However, I'm still getting just a little water in there. The door and hatch seals are good, the sunroof seals nicely, so I'm assuming that the sunroof drain lines are clogged. So where do the lines begin? I mean, where should I hook up an air compressor and blow air through to un-clog them? I couldn't see them when I installed the new roof...

Thanks!

- Al

they stick straight out from the corners, about an inch or two long, there should be rubber hoses connected on the ends that are probably 2 or 3 feet long. you can see them in the top of this pic
