Since it looked like I was going to be needing to remove the trim
pieces in order to remove the pull the carpet and underlayment back, I
tried working on it from the other end (i.e. from underneath the
vehicle)... There is a black rubber hose hanging loose and I poked a
wire up inside of it... It seems that I'm getting some drainage now,
but I'll need to wait until the carpet dries out before I can
determine if that is a complete solution... I suspect that it would be
better to be running the wire through it from the other end since the
way that I did it, any gunk that was in the line just got pressed back
up inside and it might eventually migrate back there... Of course, I
burnt the ---- out of underside of my right forearm on the exhaust
while trying to do it... Damn, the exhaust is hot enough to singe
hair... I figure that I would try this solution until someone posted
the CORRECT way to do it...

Usually the gods consider a burnt arm as equal to a blood sacrifice but
watch out, they may still want blood as well as burn! <G>

Ah geese now you are making me feel almost guilty for taking my hard top
and doors off today with a clean and cruise instead of posting the 'fix'
to you earlier... Almost...
If you look inside up under the passenger side, you will see the drain
line. It has an elbow there. You can drill a hole in the corner of the
elbow to give access to ream it out then use something like a zirk
fitting and a dab of RTV to plug it back up again.
