I blew out the rear lines first.  The drain lines are white, maybe 1/2"
diameter, and exit via holes in the underside of the bodywork behind
the rear wheels.  You could reach them from below, I happened to pull
out the foam insulator panels on either side from within the hatch,
pull up the lines, and blow them out (with the sunroof open).  1st
line, nothing.  2nd line...pffssssttt..pop!  The seeds, bugs and stuff,
all wet and smelly, came out quickly, some into the car.

I think I remember blowing out the front lines from the sunroof by
placing the air gun over the hole directly.  May have used a piece of
tube over the gun to reach, but don't recall.  Regardless, they were
clean.

HTH,
