Post-monsoon job I keep putting off: has anyone had the sunroof drains cleared?

The rains have packed up across most of our states and my panoramic roof has that faint gritty line along the channel where dust and water spent all season turning into mud.
Went reading about it and the bit that stuck was that clogged drain tubes are the single biggest cause of sunroof leaks, with this Indian breakdown of what a sunroof clean involves suggesting roughly every 12 months, sooner if you park under trees. A full job is meant to cover the drain tubes, the rails, lubrication and a seal check, not just a glass wipe.
My plan is to get it looked at before the next long Sunday run, since I like having the roof open on ghat roads and would rather not discover a damp headliner in June.
So, Creta folks, has anyone here actually had the drains cleared? Dealer workshop or a detailing place, and were the tubes genuinely blocked when they opened them up?

irfan_nair· 1 week agoArjun same boat here, Creta panoramic roof and never got the drains checked yet. That Amaron piece you linked, did it mention how they actually confirm the tubes are clogged, do they run water through and watch where it exits? Curious what proof the workshop shows before charging for the full job.
