front door jam area you will see funny rubber nipple take some WD40 or rust off to lube opening.

open sunroof take a cup or somthing to poor water down inthe corner of the sun roof drain. be carefull not to poor to much as this will over flow the channel.
some times you need compressed air to blow thru the drains.

the rear drains are a lot harder so start with the fronts and let us know waht happens.

good luck

Surprised Well Sh*%.

yes but it sucks. you need to get a long nose pair of needle nose plyers smallest nose you can find but real long.
a metal coat Hanger (GOOD LUCK) finding one of those.

or a good piece of wire will do.

use the wire to grab the hose be carfull not to put a hole in it.
once you have it use the plyers to hold it out. while you place the nipple back on make sure she is pushed on all the way. or you will be yelling and cursing at the car.
