Plugged 2004 RX Roof Drains
Any repair shop or body shop knows how to clear clogged door drains or clogged sunroof drains. These problems are common to every car made depending on where it is parked.
The front sunroof drains do not lead to the rocker panels so you may have multiple issues. The front drains are in the front corners and can be cleared with weed Wacker line as shown on many YouTube videos.
The rear drains are more complicated as the rear cargo area side panels have to be pulled to get at the hoses, separate them and clear them.
If the door drains are clogged they may have to remove the inner door panel, but every repair shop, or body shop knows how to do this.
You can use this database to start your search for a local shop, then finish it by checking on Google if they are still around as some of the reviews are old. These are shops recommended by listeners of the Car Talk Radio Show. You can search by city and state.
