NONE. Just vacuumed 8 gallons of water out of that compartment. EIGHT GALLONS. Found it because I had to change a bad Bose amplifier that was only bad because of the river that was flowing over it. Get your drainage and moonroof examined and fixed as soon as you can and save yourself some pain.

is there a way to test the rear ac drain from the top ? I rectified the 4 sunroof drains and i'm still getting water in the tire well. The rear left condenser bottom foam seems wet.

Should be easy to verify if the HVAC condenser drain in rear unit is functional or not; it drips just behind the left-rear wheel well when functional. If it is clogged up internally/externally, or partially clogged internally, then stands to reason it would back up and hold water just like the front condensate drain does and eventually result in a wet/flooded interior of the underfloor tire well area situation.
