Clogged Hatch Drain?
I just bought a 97 coupe which obviously hasn't been taken care of like I would have liked. On the passengers side water won't drain out of the hatch area. I would guess that there's a drain tube in there that's clogged up. If this is the problem, what all do I have to take apart to clean this out? Is it accessable from the inside or do I have to take a body pannel of?

I don't know exactly where the drain tube is located but I would want to remove the outer body panel. I think your best bet would be to jack the car up and remove the rear wheel and inner fender liner to get at the drain.

I would think that you could see the drain after taking the fender liner out. At lease I hope that would be the case if you went to that much trouble. Good luck.

Good luck.you should be able to just unclog the drain with a pipe cleaner or some air... if you need to see how it works just remove the inner wheel well.
