Q-Tip and a shop vac should do the trick.
What do I kill it with?* Seriously I have wiped and wiped and wiped and there is soooo much of it in there.* When it gets wet it is just a black-green SOUP that never seems to end.* There are two drains and they are not blocked but they seem inadequate for the volume of water when it rains.*

I see Phil Fill has added an idea while I have been typing.* I will try that (enlarging drains, toothbrush, Listerine/ vinegar, the whole nine, THANKS!) and see if I can get ahead of it, if not I'll be looking into getting new track*as Larry M suggests...* I'd hate to pop out windows that currently aren't leaking and possibly end up with them leaking!* Or does the track somehow sit inside the frame so this can be done without popping out the frame?* I'll take a look at the instructions in the link.


Thanks for the ideas!*
