Have a problem, my hatch drain holes are plugged up with dirt and seems to be heavily impacted in there. Is there an easy way to clean them out? The problem is that since it isn't draining properly, when it rains, it overflows and drains into the car...good thing the car has a garage to live in currently, but I need to unplug it anyways.
 
my car did the same thing, scared the hell outta me when the unerneath of my back seat was flooded out... pop off the panel in the trunk and simply replace the old hose.
 
You could try cleaning it out with weed-eater string. It's stiff, but it will clear the bends in the line.
 
When mine were plugged up i just took my air compressor and blew them out. Havent had any problems since! :thumb:
 
Mine were just kinked and clogged from being so damn old. Just take the panels off on the inside and it's just a small clamp that holds the hose on. It's pretty cheap to replace. All in all, like a 20 min job. I can take pictures if you need them.
