Where are the drains in a 1993 Lexus es300 sunroof?

I finally found the drains in each corner of the sunroof. They were covered with dirt. You can't see the ones in the rear of the sunroof but you can feel them with a screwdrive with the roof in the tilt position. I used weed eater cable to clean them. I also found 2 drains for where the water running down the front window drains. The drains for this area were clogged right below the windshield.
