I just bought an '08 convertible that is continually weeping water in front of both rear tires. I believe there's a build up of debris that should be cleaned out with a wet vac > how do I best access these areas tha drain from the rain gutter ?

Congrats on your purchase. This happened on a convertible I had a few years ago. Just take off your antenna and scrape around through the side of the car adjacent to the rear seat. Run water slowly while you do it and in a short while you will get a big dumping of water. Keep irrigating it and scraping with the antenna and all the water should run out and clean the water and debris from the compartment.

Yes, thank you that is similar to a Utube video I found using a car antenna to probe down to the drain hole. I'm also going to use a clear Goodyear wiper blade package tube as an attachment to a shop vac to reach down and suck-out the debris
