ZT saloon sunroof drains

I noted the horrendous post about Sarah & Johns tourer water ingress that killed their TV, CD etc etc. (The Polish post). Can somebody advise how you check the sunroof drains up at the roof level and if they come off can you get at them to re-connect them??

If you open the sunroof fully, there should be a drain in each corner. The front cone out behind the front wheels and the rear come out behind the rear wheels.

Pour a cup of water down each one in turn, and check the same amount comes out each end.

Might not be sunroof drains, what about cable run through inner front wings going to doors? see my post about water ingress on a Rover 418.

Cheers
