Quick help needed please

Water in the front floorboards; reading a lot about potentially clogged drain tubes and wondering how do I remove the fender port/grill on the passenger side to access that drain tube? I tried pulling on it but won't budge, and I don't see any screws anywhere???

Damn! Didn't you just get that?

Sorry can't help, haven't had that problem yet, but I'm sure it's coming.

Ha, yes got it last night. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come!
Figured it out: you pull straight up then pop out the bottom first. I had to pull really hard, was worried I was going to snap the clips but everything is intact.

The drain had never been clipped, and had a ton of gunk stuck in it. Hope that was the only clogged drain, but with more rain scheduled later this week I'm sure I'll find out soon.

What piece do you remove to check the drain?

Behind the port grill there is a black rubber piece that simply pulls out. Once you have that off, you will see a black foam piece covering a part of the inside fender. Remove that, and you will see the small drain nozzle on the side of the fender. Really easy to do, took me 10 minutes for removing the pieces, trimming the nozzle and cleaning it out.

If that drain wasn't circumsized, there's a good chance that the other 3 weren't either...especially since that one is the easiest one to access.

Where do I find the location of the other 3? Is there a post somewhere showing each?
