I didn't take the time to check drainage on my 2001 aero after I bought it and quickly took it on a trip across the country from OHIO to Idaho. In Kansas City I noticed what looked like evidence of my kids spilling one of the water bottles in the back. They tasted my wrath for not being careful. I then went to remove everything from the back area only to find all the water bottles quite full and both sides of the car wet. I had no idea and had to be on the road in the morning. ONce in Fort Collins, CO I parked on an incline for the afternoon and realized I had serious standing water. Long story short, I damaged my TWICE module and had to remove both seats and the front carpet in order to remove completely the drain tubes and the rear vents. Both vents were full of water and the drain tubes were not just clogged, they were blocked. The funk in the tubes had probably been there for years and was actually quite hard. I wire didn't stand a chance of pushing it out the drain hole. As well, the drain how exits 90 degrees from the tube. Its a wonder the system stays clear for 6 months. Every summer before AC gets used I check these things and "usually" detach the hose on the interior side, attach extra tubing to a bucket outside the car and blow compressed air from the exterior. I figure if something is going to get lodged in there it will be at the exit point, so I'll avoid that by blowing the other way. Don't risk it if you don't have to. If it overflows you can really mess some things up and be forced to spend some serious cash.
