Default Moonroof - how many drain tubes are there?

Hi guys,
I needed to clean my moonroof drain tubes cause my car leaked some water after a heavy rain so I bought some cable that fitted nicely into the two drain holes I found when I opened the moonroof - one on each front side corners (left and right)...
Well, they are cleaned now but I am wondering is it only those two drain tubes that are there?
Isn't there some more maybe on the back side where I'm unable to see or?

Thanks

There are 4 but you need a flashlight to see the back ones. I am dealing with the same thing as you.

There are 4 tubes, 2 at the front and 2 difficult to see and get at toward the rear on the sunroof.

I had a Ls400 97 plate and cleaned them, i used the wire that is often used to hold up net curtains, firm and flexible at the same time, just the size for the hole as well.

I tried to see the two rear holes but no luck yet - I'm not giving up!

Ok - now I'm starting to doubt my self and this moonroof....
How does one approach rear drain tubes in order to clean them?

I can't even see them properly...
