Leaking Sunroof

I rarely use the Cento's sunroof, but had noticed recently after a rainfall that I had a drip coming from the passenger side front corner of the sunroof, dripping onto the seat

I had to make enquiries on FaitForum as to how to get the sunroof off, DOH! but it was easily done, simply turn the slot in the middle of the up/down dial, then open the sunroof, there is a little clip and it needs pressing, then the sunroof panel pushes out from below

This showed immediately what the problem was, the drain hole on the passenger side front must have blocked up, click to enlarge the photos below, you can see where the water is sitting, and the drain hole in the recess on the second pic

A quick repair then ensued, get some staff wire, make sure its straight and push it into the drain hole[s], push and pull the wire but using more push each time, I hit the spot really quick and the water gurgled away with ease, the wire I managed to get pushed in to a depth of about 18", although I didnt at the time as it was raining, should repeat with the other 3 drain holes

No problem since
