Cleaning out sun roof drains

    My sun roof decided to leak on me today (literally). When I got home
    and the rain stopped, I rolled the sunroof back and saw standing water
    in the grooves. Figuring the drains were blocked, I took a look and
    couldn't see anything. Scratching my head as to what to do, I decided
    to snake something down through the drain until it cleared the clog.
    Several tools were attempted without success, but a heavy duty mountain
    bike brake cable worked great- the right combination of flexibility and
    stiffness.

    Hopefully the raindrops will no longer be falling on my head!

    Great idea... Also, if you need something longer try a tandem mountain
    bike brake cable.

    I'm gonna hit my bike parts box and get out a cable to put in my car
    tool box!
