Default Sunroof Drain Lines

I bought an 88 GT on the cheap and the previous owner let it sit in the woods for around 8 years so there's a large amount of forestry in every crevice of this vehicle. I've gotten most of it cleaned up but I noticed that the sunroof drain lines are clogged. And I mean CLOGGED. Anyone know of any trade secrets on how to get them draining properly again without tearing the car apart?

Detach them from the roof and stick a pipe cleaner in them

compressed air and blow them out or coat hanger, or speedo cable on a drill end

Speedo cable on a drill end sounds like it'll be my first course of action. Good thinking. Thanks for all the input everyone. I should be clog-free in no time.
