clogged. you have to get to them from the OUTside. take a small phillips
screwdriver, and remove the two screws in the plastic air-intake grills
behind the rearmost side windows. the grills pull out from the bottom
then pull down from the top. or is it the other way round? well, anyway,
you have to take the grill out. then you fish around in the big hole for
the drain hose ... it'll be on the front edge/side of the hole. there is
a whoopee-cushion type thingie on the end of the hose, and it gets stuck
together. squeeze it and break the stuck-ness and water runs all over
you. :)

there's one on BOTH sides. and you need to unclog both, otherwise it'll
still slosh on you going around corners. you can smear some armor-all or
vaseline or whatever inside the "lips" of the whoopie cushion thingie to
prevent it from sticking again.
