If you live on the east coast then you know that Jersey and most of the surrounding states got NAILED bad with rain.

Well I found out the hard way that the sunroof on my X has a sort of drain pan on each front corner with a hose attached to it that runs down the "A" pillar to the bottom of the truck. The one on the driver's side was clogged wth something, backed up, and drenched my interior :mad: .

I have since fixed it by shoving an air compressor into said hose and pumping 110psi into it. This was accompanied by a "pop" as whatever was blocking the hose broke free. I also put an adjustable ring clamp on each side to avoid such problems in the future. Even though the passenger side was clear I did it anyway.

My question is this: There are now water stains, similar to those seen on baseball caps after sweating alot, on the headliner. Does anyone have a good way of cleaning these without damaging the headliner?

Thanks. I actually have some of that stuff lying around. I'll see how it turns out.
 






Update: Spray-on OxyClean and dabbing with a papertowel took care of the stains like a champ. Thanks DeRocha.

Nice :) Glad everything worked out... I knew it would as the headliner in my post above was really bad, and it came out great..
