Default Clogged Sunroof Drain

I simply cannot find where the drain is on my 2004 F150. Lately I have noticed water stains on the headliner surrounding the sunroof, but cannot locate the drains to see if they are clogged. Is this one of those cases where I will be forced to take it to the dealer? I know it is going to take -$$$$ out of my pocket...

There are 4 of them. 2 in the front (small holes in each corner, pretty easy to find), and 2 in the back. You won't be able to see the back ones unless you drop the headliner.

I looked for the holes in the front... just could not find them... but knowing now where to look, I will have to try again... Thanks for the tip.

What would be the best way to clear them... with a long solid wire, or is it possible to blow them out with air?

If you use compressed air, it's possible to pop the drain lines off, so I wouldn't and I didn't. I used an old spedometer cable. I fished it down gently. Then I made an attachment for my shopvac using fuel line and tried to suck up anything loose. I don't know if that worked, but it was worth a try.
