Cleaning cabriolet drain plugs

Does anyone know where the rear drain plugs are for the cabriolets?

I know where the front drain plugs are, next the battery under the cowl, but where are the rear ones on the cabs? They go down between the metal heat shield and plastic fender right? But where do they begin?

Just reading about a 997 cab owner who got wet carpets from the drain plugs being blocked by road grime.

Cool thanks going to clean the drains this weekend.

It's strange how it drains out with a nylon disc covering it. Guess I will find out how it works when I pull the inner fender off.

Has anyone cleaned the bottom of the drain pipes at the front? where are they located?

Not sure what you mean by bottom drains. I think the drains in the front exit freely beneath the car. If you can flush water through them and the water exits to the floor, you're done.
