Default top hatch water drains?

In the convertibles, with the convertible top hatch up, in the front two corners by the doors, are there drain holes there? I've been told there are but I don't see them. I know in the rear with the trunk lid up, there are two water drain holes. But in the front corners it seems to me the water would run downhill toward the front and have nowhere to go, would overflow into the interior. I have some water leak problems, I think in that area.

Checked mine and no holes up front. I read a thread a while back that suggested parking the vert with the nose highter in the front. I do and have had no problems. On level ground, try filling the water tracks on both sides starting at the lid area and see if the water runs towards the rear without spelling into the trunk area. Good luck finding the leak.
