I doubt your leak is from the airbox.  The only path for water from the fresh air blower into the cabin is through the heater ducting.  But those hoses change height, so you'd need a ton of water.  Even if the drain was plugged, it would take a LOT of water to fill it up.  Much more than occurs during a typical washing.

Mark - WRONG. It doesn't take much water to flood the airbox and get water in the car. Every time I used to wash my car I'd get a nice fountain of water onto my feet when I went to drive the car. That was before I figured out both drains were plugged.

I am totally with the guys who say this is the airbox. I would check that out before you mess with the windshield.

The sheer amount of water keeps me thinking it's the airbox. And the fact that it pours onto my feet on acceleration only. Bottom of the trunk seals look good, no holes in the steel and no rust apparent under the rubber.

But where do the vent-box drains DRAIN to?

And, is there ANY way to clear them without pulling the tank?

Thanks,

the vent box drains go behind the gas tank and through the floor. there are tow drain holes on the box that join at one drain hose. you might be able to get back there and pull off the hoses if you have skinny arms like me. it would probably be easier to just pull out the tank and then do it. and i guess they're not really hoses, cause they're hard plastic tubes that break pretty easily.
