I feel like I am forgetting some of the details. But I used nylon weed trimmer line and carefully pushed it through the drain lines. On the two front drains, I ran the line down from the top as far as I could get it. The drain holes are in the corners of the sunroof "gutter". I also pushed the trimmer line up from the front drain outlets behind the front wheel wells. For the rears, I pulled the side panels from the trunk to expose the drain lines. The lines have a 90 degree rubber elbow there. I pulled the plastic hose drain from the elbows and ran the trimmer line both directions (I think the left rear was where my clog was). After that, I tested by running some water from the gutter out all (4) corners, and they ran freely. The drain outlets "squint" down from a circle to a flat orifice when they exit, and I also pinched those open to make sure any debris could exit the lines while I rinsed them. Good as new!
