Cleaning out water A/C water drains DIY

Anyone have a link to a DIY for cleaning out the A/C water drains? I am assuming mine have become blocked as I keep getting water pouring into the car both in the front and rear footwells when my A/C runs for a while on a hot day. Thx!

I am going to look into this some more myself. Makes me wonder if my drip in the back isn't related to some of the issues I've read about this. This was all I found in a quick google search but I'm not sure that's the AC drain he found?

The car in the renntech thread has a Sport design kit with bigger sills. Without that the drains and plugs are in plain sight. Pulled my driver side drain tonight and it had the same waxy buildup like they talked about but didn't seem to be plugged.

Thanks for this. Will tackle this issue this weekend.

Damn weather gets so hot and so cold here that our climate control systems in our car works harder than anything else in our cars I'd have to say.

After looking and digging around some more I still am not sure what he is really draining in the video I posted above. I get a nice puddle under the car just in from the right front wheel after parking. That's the drain I'm sure. The one he is draining I think is either sunroof or just the undertray/wheel-well drain. I think that's what the little button drains on the bottom of the undertray are for.

Somewhere I saw a suggestion to open up the cabin airfilter box if you think yours is plugged and the box will be full of water. I plan on changing my filter one of these days but I'm sure mine is not plugged.
