Hello, The sunroof drain hole on passenger side was clogged. I find a video on youtube. The guy removed the front door to unclog it.
- Is there any way to unclog without door removal?
- How many sunroof drain holes? If there are four holes, How to access the rear two holes?
Thank you for help.

Here is the youtube link I found.

I don't have a compressor. I can pay a shop to do it. Is there a specific PSI to blow it? Thank you.

i bet a duster can would have enough pressure to blow it clear. then dump a glass of water in the corner, if its clear it will leak out the bottom of the fender near the door.

theres two rear drains, for the life of me i was unable to see them, but the water test showed me they were clear. drains out between the doors.

The can of air will def work, unless you have some serious blockage in there.

Dust air is not working. I might use it in an improper way. The air backed up. Also it created a coating of ice. I will go to a shop for a compressor.

i used a drinking straw then the tip of the air sprayer to the straw, the straw fits in the hole nice, then short blasts of air.
