    Water from the sunroof

    Here is my second problem.

    I had been warned about this by the old owner. It appears that, if I leave the car with the front higher than the back and it rains, water accumulates around the sunroof, and some of it will eventually enter the interior of the car when first driving it downhill (about half a glass). I saw this happen yesterday... I have been told that there are drainage pipes, but they are apparently clogged.

    How can I solve this problem? Do these pipes exist? If so, how should I proceed to clean them up?

    Here is a picture of when the special effect was being carefully prepared...

    This must be postponed a little bit.

    Thanks anyway

    The consensus in the thread I posted seems to be that compressed air, and not disassembly, is the best way to clear the lines.
