Get a caothanger and straighten it out with no kinks, clear the drain holes in each corner of the roof. Dont push too far into the drain holes, you dont want to damage the plastic drain tubes internally. Even butter use a blower if you can. Open the roof pour about a cup of water into the roof bay and make sure the water drains out the bottom near the front mud flap/inner guard area and onto the road. Often the holes block with grit and leaves and debris...
