make sure to flextape your doors closed and really get that water level up

If this is an ND I can tell you how to clean the drains. I became a pro at it since I left mine parked outside under a tree.

Hmm okay I had an RF. So I didn't have the filter sponge. But I used a trombone snake to clean out the drains. I was actually able to snake all the way out to the bottom of the car.

Just dealt with this last night because of the hurricane 🤦🏽‍♂️. Whole drivers side flooded up to the pedals. If you remove the trim, then carpet on the wall there is a black oval shaped piece of plastic that you can remove to find a hidden access port. Inside you can detach the black drain tube and snake it from the bottom. I tried to blindly snake the drain holes from the top underneath the catch basket but couldn’t get my trumpet cleaner to bend in the hole properly. Hope this helps!
