Default leaky sunroof

I know lots has been posted about this known problem but I thought I would share my free fix.I rang the dealer when it was leaking in and was told £120 + to fix.The price was higher if anything had to be removed I was told and this got me thinking.First of all if they can mend it without removing anything all they can do is blow an air line down the tube....right ? I can do that! Secondly I have been told it can blow the drain tubes apart but I thought if its buggerd anyway give it ago with the airline and then pay to get it fixed if it wreaks it.It wont work for everyone but if you do try it dont blame me if it makes thinks worse.I blew it down and the right drain tube spat out a lump of crud and released about 1/2 litre of pond water.The left side was not so bad but blocked also.I poured down some soapy water after and it came out the bottom fine.Job done no more leaks,no wet carpet no £120 bill.
