Drain Plugs
 
I have read a couple times on here where people have had issues (especially cars that have sat outside) with "drain plugs" being clogged and water got in the car under the driver seat?

I have not noticed this as an issue in my car...YET...and want to be proactive. Where exactly are these so called drain plugs and how do you clean them? Any pics would be a huge help!

Remove any debris by hand and then use compressed air to blow out the drain lines.

On a related topic - has anyone seen the rear drain protectors from Suncoast? I think they're new:

I appreciate the help for sure. I must be an idiot though. I still can not find these things. I am looking and only see two holes that could be it. The seems to start - the hole opening- in what seems like foam. One of the holes actually had a black plastic piece that was in one of the holes. Looking at the pic with the red finger pointing, and then the pic with the covers, I do not have anything in that area. I know I am a pain but really want to make sure I find these. the 2 holes I am seeing are about 5 inches down and about at least a foot from toward the driver seat and passenger seat from where the back of the convertible sits. again - the holes I see are surrounded by a foam sort of matertial...Are those it??

Did you look at the link Tony provided? https://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/drainsdiagram

That page has pictures & diagrams of the drains & instructions for cleaning them. The drains do have a foam-like feel to them.
