Sunroof Drain Cleanout
 
How do you blow out the sunroof drains can't even find the holes front windshield seal replaced and now for the rear, want to make sure it is not the sunroof leaking as well thanks

I've seen people get pipe cleaners and link them together very well to push/pull debris out. This worked for me on two of my sunroof cars (both non 911). You could always go through the bottom under the deck lid for the rear. It may even help you locate the holes.

If that doesn't sound cool, I'd look at where the holes are in the Porsche PET Katalog online. Just look up your year.

For an SC w sunroof panel out youcan see where the drain holes are. Cannot imagine finding ot w roof panel installed, whether open/closed

Use weed whacker line - 8mm or smaller and have a hose with a low volume of water. From the bottom, use a coat hanger for the first 3 - 5 inches since that is where most of it lives. Next, use the line to plumb the tube free of dirt from the top, taking your time so as not to pack anything.

This has served me very well on old Mercedes sunroofs.

Flexible emergency brake cable also works. As the poster above noted, go slow.

Some pretty good pictures in this Pelican thread here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/151029-so-where-infamous-sunroof-drain.html. Maybe see if it may be helpful to you.

A long piece of allthread around 1/8" works well. Helps to have a rag under upper end to catch debris.
