sunroof drain tubes

Don't you just hate when you make something worse? My drain tube/hole was clogged on my 84 4runner, causing water to build up and dump on me when I opened up the sunroof. I have fished out the tubes before on my wife's car, but I messed this one up. I did get it to unclog, but in the process, I popped off the actual tube and my fishing wire ended up just getting coiled up behind the headliner.

I can feel the actual tube about an inch below the drain hole, but how do they attach to the drain holes?

I am afraid that I might have popped off the others too, so I am going to have to check all 4 before I button it back up.

The drain tubes hoses just push onto the drain tubes, no clamps or anything. Also be sure they are in the correct location where they dump out the bottom of the cab, don't want them draining where they aren't supposed to causing wet floorboards and rust.

Thanks Man! I finally got around to reconnecting it today. I kept her in the garage until the rain passed. I double checked the other tubes to make sure they were all connected by passing weedeater trim line through them. The other 3 were still attached, so I just had to get that one I goofed up.

Now it's on to the wheel bearings. Thanks again,man.
