I was able to get at the rear drains by removing some of the interior trim and pulling down the edges of the headliner by the rear windows, and removing the drain hoses at the sunroof. My drains were definately clogged and I had to run a wire to open. Then I used some 3M glue to replace the headliner and snapped the trim back. The drains flow into the beam under the doors and out through some small openings which can also clog. I think this helped, but I was still getting water on the floors. I think it's coming from under the hood by the firewall. When I have time I am going to get some silicone and look for leaks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll start pursuing it this weekend. The weather is dry for now.


The rear ones should drain right behind the rear doors, you will see it ones you poor,
but if it is just your carpet? mmmmmmmm
Chek underneath, if you may have a hole,
or your rear windows may not properly seal.

Just a thought maybe it helps Jens
