Default 70 Conv Leak

My car used to leak into the storage area behind the seats. It's still up on jackstands now and I have a good chance here to fix that leak if I can locate it. I'm assuming that the two drains in the weatherstrip channel around the deck lid are stopped up and the leak is due to seepage from the channel. How do I free up those drains? Or, is there another possible cause?

There are slots on either side, leading into what I think is a metal/steel drain trough, and if that's clogged up, of course it lends to rust, and then drip drpi inside....

there are troughs leading from that slot into the underside of the car....

I just use an airjet to blow them out, use you fingers while blasting air to feel if there are any interior leaks....
