First blow some air up from where they exit under your rear quarter panels (under the cruiser, 1 on each side, hose is about 1/2 inch or so and should have a tapered cut if I am remembering right). Then take a shop vac, the hose is too big to fit back there, tape a 1" dia x 3 foot long piece of heater hose inside the vac hose (to essentially make a 1" vac hose) and shove the heater hose back down the sides of the sun roof.

When I did this I heard a thump go through the hose. The vac was already full of stuff so I didn't bother checking to see what it was. Would have been interesting to have seen what went through there...
