Open the sunroof, I believe there are four on the four corners on the inside. Use pressurized air, but dont do it alot at once... I mean alot of air!

The front is easy, open ur sun roof on the corners there are plastic covers one on each side, un screw the screws, i ran rebar tie wire to clean my old one. The back you might be able to get to from the bottom of the car behind the tire were it drains, if not then the head liner has to come out so u can access them from the top.
