Previa front sunroof leaking

I have a 3 year old previa with a leak from the front sunroof (the one
which just hinges open a couple of inches) I suspect that the sunroof
drain holes may be blocked. But as the sunroof panel is hinged I can't see
how to remove and inspect.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

The Previa hasn't been sold in the U.S. for a while so I don't remember if
the front sunroof is manual or power tilt. If it is manual tilt, then look
at the handle/latch when it is in the up position and release the handle,
tip the glass all the way up, and remove.

Plan B: If you have access to compressed air with a rubber-tipped nozzle,
clean the drain hoses from the bottom up.

There are recalls on a LOT of sunroofs going back 5 years. I would check
with the dealer to see if your unit is affected.

What country are you in?

Didn't they stop selling the Previa in the US in 1997?
