Use a length of welding rod to clear the drains.

I used a length of copper electrical wire, the earth one from 2.5 twin and earth cable, with the end folded tightly back on itself but I have known the nylon strimmer cord used too.

a length of net curtain 'wire' is ideal for these kinds of jobs. Strong enough to be pushed, but won't poke holes in things.
My Manta used to fill the car from one of these drain tubes if parked a certain way, it turned out, that years before I bought it, the nearside had been welded & the heat of the gas torch had partially melted one of the drain tubes where it poked into the sill.
