I can't seem to find the weep holes top or bottom, and I can't seem to find this in the archives...

any help is greatly appreciated. We've had some rain, and I was parked outside and an oak tree has shed its lacing, and I believe it clogged up my drain lines. My headliner is new and I don't want any damage to come to it as I am readying to sell this when the M5T is ready.

The drip comes just ahead of the grab handle and has soaked thru the felt banding that fastens to the outer edge of the headliner if that makes sense.

I would normally just remove my Thule footpacks and replace the gaskets in the rails, but I don't want any moisture to get trapped.

I have my trim line ready, I just would like some tourer help from someone who has actually done this before

thanks in advance.

Perhaps this might help. I have to do this to my '95 525iT, as my sunroof leaks only when I run it through a car wash.

There's a .pdf on touring sunroof repairs HERE (http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/maintenance/Body/Data/touring_sun_roof.pdf) but does anyone have pics of the weep hole locations from the bottom of the car? I'd kinda like to come up from the bottom (with the trim line) before I do a disassemble project. Also, I was praying that the drain hole would be accessible from the inside of the roof mounting rail...is it?

thanks in advance (TIA)
