Does anyone know how to clear the sunroof drains in an E30?

Have to do this to my sport as the car is damp inside. Any help appreciated! :D :D

I have used the flexible plastic covered wire thing that net curtains hang from.

Ya i can get use of an airline!

Where exactly are the drains located and do they run down each pillar ya? Is it just a matter of rolling the sunroof back fully and accessing the drains from there?

Shane your better off underneath the car (preferably on a professional ramp at the garage) and locate the channels. Use an airline or a good piece of wire cable and prod away until clear. Works a treat.
