Sunroof drain issue

Hey all,

So I have gone round and round on this water issue, and with the steady rain here it is clear that I have a passenger side sunroof drain issue.

I have snaked the drain tube repeatedly and it seems to be clear, but the issue keep going back.

That leads me to believe that I have clogged "pinch welds" as suggested in this video.

My question for all of you is, does anyone have a god method for inspecting and cleaning said "pinch welds" on the undercarriage?

 

I was able to fix the problem with hot water and coated baling wire.

 

OP solved his problem with quality elbow grease! TW failed to respond in quality suggestions or in snid comments! Jeesh what is going on around here!!!


Nice work @Moriarti2001 , any idea what was plugging up the drain?

 

So if you have bllocked su roof drains what size tires “can” you fit on a Tacoma?

 

Thanks ! I am stoked because we have more major rain headed our way. I am not exactly sure what the blockage content was made of, but I am guessing a mix of dust and vegetative decay. I did order a particular snake to help keep it clear. I am guessing it is not 100% clear as I ran hot water through the driver side front after as maintenance and it cleared faster. The outflow water was light brown / grey. I do live on the edge of the country. My suggestion is to add cleaning these drains to your regular semi-annual maintenance routine.

 

Weed eater string works best.
