how to unclog vert passenger drain

4th time it has happened the part behind the passenger seat has flooded severely.

Noticed my drain on the top is clogged on the passenger side as the water is stagnant When it rains. Tried to get a thin rod down But won't unclog.

Any ideas. Before any rust starts developing. I usually clean it up quickly

If the hoses are clogged and water is getting in to the car, then you probably have tears in the vinyl on the pocket. Be sure to check.
