I have the same problem with my fastback. I am not sure exactly how the drain
tube is connected to the vents, but the drain end is behind the tail light
assembly. They have the same problem as the front ones, as leaves and junk get
in them. Pull the tail light assembly out, (2 screws after the lens is off) and
you will see about a 1/2" metal tube about half way up on the inner panel. I
used a piece of wire and compressed air and blew a lot of junk out of mine.
