Common for the roof's to rot on these which causes problems

I agree with Adam,

When mine SERIOUSLY leaked ie go round a bend and the passenger gets soaked.... the roof skin had a hole in it near the corner of the sunroof... BAH...

s2's!

The drain tubes getting blocked are a very common problem but they are very long and a coathanger probably won't go all the way through.
