Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
First fill the tray with water, then use a bit of garden hose cut at an angle to wedge against the exit hole then give it a big blow.
Leading evidence: 'Fill tray' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Been looking all day doing searches but just keep coming up with the drawn diagram that doesn't really show a good pic of drains for the cab top.
Does anyone have specific pics of where the drain holes are...OTHER than that diagram drawing?
Thanks in advance...
Here are some pics and basic instructions. (also the diagrams you referred to, which I find to be helpful.)

Appreciate it. However I am looking for pics for the top half of the car. Where do the drains start? In both Boxsters I could take a flexible (bike brake cable outer piece) and carefully thread all the way down through. I can't find any pics on where these tubes in 996 begin or what and where these "resivoirs" are by the speakers. All I can find are these diagrams and would be great to see people pictures...

If you remove the rear speakers ( just a few screws) you can peek in with a flashlight and see the drip trays. The trough around the clamshell feeds the drip tray.
From the drip tray, the water drains out in the wheel well.
Remove the speaker with 2 x Torx screws and you will see the tray.
Put your fingers in the tray and have a feel around for the exit hole. it's low down and on the outside wall of the tray.
First fill the tray with water, then use a bit of garden hose cut at an angle to wedge against the exit hole then give it a big blow. The water in the tray allows the pressure to clear out the exit.
Keep doing it until you see the water flowing out just in front of the rear wheel.
