take the straw and put some tape around it so that its thicker than the hole (try to create a seal). You're trying to force the air (and debris) down the tube. If the duster isn't enough pressure (usually is) then step up to a compressor. My compressors are set at 180psi so i have a wand with a gauge and a valve so I can dial it down to about 40psi.

I’m more interested to know about the doors.
same thing. dust and water just fill the weep holes at the bottoms of the doors. Run water on the outside of glass while your dig out the blockage. I'll see if i have a tahoe in the shop.

As many others have said, sunroof drain are clogged...compressed air works to unclog. Our expedition has two at the front of the opening.

Door drains are at the bottom of door, pull the rubber stopper and watch the water pour out.

Do you park under an oak tree or crepe myrtle? they will drop shite which causes the clogs.

DO NOT USE BLEASCH...if your sunroof drain are not unclogged and you use bleach, bleach will over flow and bleach out interior headliner.

Your drains are clogged or kinked, pretty easy fix.

Watch out for mold in the pads under carpet in floor areas and also ceiling liner. Trade it in.
