Default 63 Convertible - Drainage

There are two drain slots in the rear deck channel to drain roof and deck water. Mine seem to be clogged and the rear interior is soaked. Does anyone know where these terminate?

Right there under the fender on the side of the tub. Almost on the same level as the drain holes. There is usually a blob of dirt and leaves etc. in it.

In the rear wheel well's. Behind and about half way up the rear wheel...I think. Stick a close hangar in them and blow them out with shop air.
