Question Floorboard drain plug Locations???

Hey guys, been having really bad rain storms here in So IL and vert no likey. Leaking in through the window/roof panel seal. Driver side is soaked as well as behind the seat. Vert top drain was plugged so unplugged it and good now but i want to let the standing water drain out and hear there are drain plugs under the carpet. Does anyone know where exactly they are and how many total on the car? Pictures too if got em.............

Woolite carpet cleaner and a wet vac. Just draining will leave mildew.

Like Rob said, get under the car and they are easy to see. One important one for convertible is in the trunk where the spare tire sits for coupes.

This is when I don't miss the vert, that thing leaked so much water.

Fix the root of the problem and fix your weatherstripping....

Does the plastic in between the door panel have anything to do with water leaking in? I think I might need to put new adhesive on it. Window seals look good so gonna try adjusting the window height. Found the drain plugs so no more water. Gonna use a shop vac and get it the rest of the way. Thanks for the info

The plastic inbetween the door and door panel does not have anything to do with the leaking, its just there as a sound barrier, with it out your ddoor will soud louder when you close it
