Default Sunroof drainage

We're does the sunroof drainage come out? My floor is getting wet and I am guessing its the sunroof drain that's blocked, how would you unblock it?

Stupidly the front 2 drain through pipes in the A pillar down into the inside of the sills just below the door mounting pillar and the rears pipes run down the rear C pillar and into the bottom corner of the rear quarter behind the rear wheel arch.
