2001 S60 Sunroof Drain S60

Hey,
I have a 2001 S60 and the passenger side sunroof drain is clogged (hence leaving a big puddle in the passenger side floor when it rained heavy a couple of days ago).
In pulling off the trim, we saw that from the drain (where the sunroof drain hole is located), there is a plastic tube that then connects into a metal tube that drains it down.
In trying to unclog the drain, it was advised that we take a coat hanger wire and push it through the pipe to unclog it. In doing so, I broke a hole in the plastic hose that connects to the metal part.
My question is, does anyone know what the ID and OD in this hose is, and possibly where to find it.
I'm thinking any type of a hose from a Home Depot type place would work. I just wanted to try to figure out the hose size before I pulled the other one out.
Also, where does the drain end at? We couldn't figure that out (in case we had to go backwards to try to unclog it.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

    Pour water into the other side drain and see where it comes out. It probably ends above the plastic panel under the rocker panel area.

    If it is like some Volvos that I have owned, it is not too hard to take this panel off.

    The rivets might be plastic with a small pin in the middle. You push this pin in until the pin falls out and then the rivet comes out. If you catch the pins, you can insert them into the rivet a bit and they will expand the rivet again. Try one when it is out of the car. Buy a rivet from a dealer to see how it works.

    I use a length of high temperature stranded wire - its insulation is stiff, but not anywhere nearly as stiff as a coat hanger.

    I check all my drains by pouring water down them about once a month. (I park my cars outdoors under some trees.) If you have a sedan, there may be drains in the front corners of the trunk.
