IIRC ;
The drains comprise of plastic tubes that run from the sunroof tray down the 'C' pillars and exit the body via the pinchwelds in front of the rear wheel openings , (look in your parts car) ~ if so , it'll be a simple thing to gently blow air in the bottoms until the dirt comes loose then flush back down and out again , this might take a few tires but beats ruining an otherwise good original headliner .
That's how we did them back in the Dealer when I were young .
Semi - flexible wires or old speedo cable centers run up from below works well too , once the tube is open , the rest of the dirt usually runs out easily with a bit of water .
