Default Water leaking from liner

I have water leaking mostly on my passenger side every time it rains out. Checked fron drain they're clear n water is flowing through them great. Now is rear drains also? How do I go about cleaning them ? Where are they located?

The rear drains are the only ones that ever clog ... always the problem.

Both accessible in the trunk ... passengers side is easy ... drivers side requires moving things out of the way (cd changer, nav and part of trunk liner).

Thanks you very much. I'll be getting to them this week. Now I have a new problem. When it rains my passenger headlight cuts off on me. I have to wait for it to stop raining for it to work again. You think I'm getting water somewhere from the roof leaks ?

Look under the passenger footboard ... central electric panel.

The leaking could be that the channel that runs along the rear edge of the sunroof has broken and been pushed away from where it needs to be. I did a writeup on it here: http://www.fcpeuro.com/blog/posts/ho...-drain-channel

Super common issue in these cars.
