Since I started this thread, I've washed the car several times and have checked under the carpets for wet and all had been good.

I need to check my drain for the rear, I cleaned the ones under the frunk when I installed XM.

I tested with pouring 200ml into the drain tray near the cab top and got about the same volume out, so seems to be draining.
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.

I gave my car a nice bath since we had some nice weather. Unfortunately, some of the bathwater found its way under the rear carpet on the driver's side. The culprit was a blocked drain. The foam underside of the carpet retains a lot of water. I expelled what I could by hand and then using a vacuum before letting the air mover loose on it. I'm then going to spray some hydrogen peroxide on it to kill any mold and sprinkle some borax around (after researching mold removal from foam).
I'm taking the opportunity to use my trusty Leatherworld kit on the rear side trim and the driver's seat.
On the bright side, I found 27 cents, an old pen, some chips and a few fries.
Will everything go back in?
The culprit
Cleaned and silly rubber flapper removed for good
Nice! Thanks for posting. I need to do the same on mine as well, but unsure where the drains are.
Can you please post more info on where they are located?
cheers,

Kalyan - this thread should help

The picture that I posted shows the clogged drain behind the rear wheel well liner. You need to remove the rear wheel and three plastic nuts to remove the liner. The drain has a thin rubber/plastic "flap" which I've removed since I feel that it traps debris. This was also recommended by my local Indy based on our climate (PNW)
I'm pleased to report that it is all back together. Broke one plastic support, lost one plastic piece that a screw goes into and only one screw leftover
I tested with pouring 200ml into the drain tray near the cab top and got about the same volume out, so seems to be draining. Then I went for a drive. With the top down.
Bernard - the good news is that cleaning them is easy. Dealing with the aftermath of clogged drains is not so easy. Since I started this thread, I've washed the car several times and have checked under the carpets for wet and all had been good. If you live in an area with lots of pine needles or similar drain clogging stuff, removing those plastic flaps seems to be a good idea.
