Found my driver had a bunch of water in the foot well. Traced it back to the sunroof which I didn't realize have drains. The ones on my car go down the A pillar under the dash & then rearward to behind the rear wheel. Tried wire an edger line but it only went about 4' down where I guess there is a big bend to head rearward. The exit is covered by a plate/inner rear fenderwell so couldn't run a wire there either. I thought about blowing through with a compressor but after reading online that it may blow out the pressed fittings above the headliner so...........hmmm. Finally robbed my wife's turkey baster and duct taped it to my shop vac...it worked!! Unbelievable amount of guck, tree needles etc. pull out!
 
Ummmm, she & sister went to Nanaimo shopping for "missing items" today so I'll be checking my Visa totals as she came back with WAY more than a tom probe!!:p
