Front Sunroof Drain Discharge Location
I am trying to clear the front sunroof drains on my '77.
Where do the front drains for the sunroof discharge? I have a flexible clear plastic tube coming into the frunk from the inner fender area above the battery but it just terminates inside the frunk. It seems that, if this is the drain tube, it should exit to the outside. If correct, where is the access for this? And shouldn't there be a similar hose and exit for the passenger side? Similarly, where does the battery breather hose exit the frunk? The battery is in the factory location. A description would be great, but a picture might be even better. Thanks.

Run some trimmer line through the roof drain holes to clear. The fronts exit either between the door and fender or the wheel well. Do not recall. But trimmer line will tell.

Thanks guys.
Looks like I couldn't see all that, since I can't get my doors fully open in my garage. Lorne, What is the plastic hose above the drain tube in your driver's side shot? I'm wondering if the hose that goes into my frunk is a vent for something else. Maybe for an emissions cannister?

Probably for your brake fluid over flow. Trace the line back

Tube for frunk release cable is my guess.

Got all 4 drains clear. I used a single wire from some 14/2 Romex cable. It was vinyl coated and flexible, yet rigid enough to push through the clogs.
Now I just have to figure out the tube going through the driver's side of the frunk. Right now I'm thinking it may be for the battery breather.
