My seatbelts lately have been coming out a but damp and I'm suspecting the sunroof drainage holes are blocked. Anyone found a way of clearing these passages?

Poke through some MIG welding wire if you have any handy. Thicker the better.

Stretchy / flexi curtain rod. It's perfect. There's probably some in the house somewhere holding up a net curtain. Nick it, use it, put it back.

Tbh on reflection the MIG wire may be too flexible. Have you got a roll of thickish wire or electrical wire knocking about that you work?

Right i used a thick piece of normal wire today but it wasnt long enough or I couldnt push it any further, will have to wait till it rains again to tell if its still leaking inside
