Default Clearing boot drain holes

Guys,

I've been struggling to clear the drain holes in the boot channels (12 on drawing).

I don't want to poke anything too sharp down them in case I puncture something, but my efforts so far haven't worked. I park nose down on a slightly sloping drive, so water collects at the front of the boot channel. It's not leaking but I'd like to sort it.

I understand they are right angled but never seen them off the car.

If any of the C70 regulars could help I'd be grateful.

Hi zapcity1
I own a C70. Just gone and poured water down the drain holes and it comes out back of the wheels from under the wheel arch so I think your image could be slightly misleading unless I'm mistaken. I don't think it's a right angle. If your's are blocked, perhaps high pressure air hose might clear them, or some kind of drain cleaner solution and leave to soak.
Best wishes
Fred

Finally, finally, finally, after 40 mins poking with a dozen tyraps and getting another soaking from the hose on high pressure, I've got them clear at last.

What a faff!
