Convertible Drain Clog

All -

I have had the drains on my convertible cleared 2 times now. What happens, especially in Spring / Fall, is that little pieces of tree gets in the drain and clogs it. Then, when there's rain or I get car wash, the car sloshes in the rear quarter panels. It drains eventually, but, very slowly. I don't want to encourage rust.

Is there a way to unclog the drains myself without having to take it to the dealership? I took off the interior pieces to see the "works" of the convertible, but, could not see where to unclog. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't have the sloshing sound, but have thought about that for a while. I have oak trees with acorns in the fall, leaves and oak wilt in the spring. Not to mention the dust, pollen and sticks that get in there.
inquiring minds want to know.

If you can find the end of the drain hose. A air compressor will probably do wonders for it. Just shoot air back up throught it. That would be my best guess. Sorry for just a guess.
