   my 1997 vtr is leaking inside, i know it leaks through sun roof but theres are puddles on the floor, so i took off the roof lining. the black tube that goes from the sun roof and through the car ( i do not know where the other end is ) is blocked. How do i unblock these pipes as they run through the car (if any one understands this lol)

   sunroof drains run down the front pillars next to windscreen. to unblock them, feed a piece of rod or something similar to push out what evers blocking it.
   
   also, why your at it, undo your aerial base and silicone round the bolt then tighten nut back on as water leaks through there too. mine has just started doing it
