Both of mine were blocked. The previous owner told me about the rear footwell damp and I thought it was a door seal but seen a post on here about the drains being blocked so I put a thicker pipe down so it has better flow

PS (since i can no longer edit earlier post). Obviously using Blu-Tack to provide an airtight seal before blowing air through the drain holes runs the risk of seriously exacerbating the issue if any drops into the hole. If you have someone to help you, get them to hold a cloth around the hole instead.

S40 sunroof drain
I got the front sunroof drains ok, the rear ones are not available at the sunroof but if you go into the trunk and peel away the side covers you will see a clear plastic tube. The driver's side tube goes into a plastic module that exits into the wheel well somewhere but the passenger side tube just hangs there and doesn't seem to be connected to anything so that any water would pool up. I disconnected both tubes and they were clear. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated

Don't sweat the rears. I have never heard of a problem with them. (You CAN get to the rear exits however under the rear seat.)

Thanks to all who've posted on this - worked for me (removed the passenger pillar trim, pulled out the pipe, poked the hole through the firewall, reassembled and no more foot baths!)
