I made the foolish mistake of taking my new-to-me 91 240 through the brushless car wash today and the high pressure water did a number on my sunroof, which I thought was working flawlessly. Water leaked from around the back on both sides, and it appears that some got into the white headliner and is causing it to sag a little bit--not too badly.

Questions:

1) I've read about rear sunroof drains. Where are those located? I'd like to check to see if they're clear.

2) should I try to remove any parts to let the headliner dry out to minimize damage, or will it dry on its own? If I should attempt something, do you have advice on what part to remove?

The car wash soap also left horrible marks on my paint, but that's another issue. The paint looked good, but perhaps the clear coat wasn't as stable as I thought. Lesson learned...
