>From my experience - just blow out the drain tubes. I had that a year or
two ago. After a real hard rain, I'd make a sharp left turn and water
would come dripping down onto the steering wheel. Right from the sunroof

I suspect that clogged drain tubes is why sunroof cables and mechanisms
go bad in the first place. All that water up there has to make things
rust, right?
