Default Sunroof drain tubes

So I call the dealer and ask about unclogging the drains for the sunroof - $600 - WTF!!!

Am I missing something here, they said thay had to pull the lining out to get to the drain holes and almost pull the sun roof out.

Can this be done from the wheel wells up or can this be done without dealer intervention.

This might help everybody.

Thank you,
Sawyer

That $600 includes the Vaseline, or you have to bring your own?

Default search my posts - i posted the schematics of where the roof drains are located.

my indie just snipped the very ends off mine (they were COMPLETELY CLOSED OFF!) and they work fine now. you can do it yourself i would think.
