Hi jshearin50@yahoo. Com. Welcome to the forum. The drain tube is under the hood, on the passenger side on the firewall. The engine is packed in there real tight so you might have to crawl under the car to find it. It is black or gray rubber, about 4" long, with a right angle bend so it hangs down. Squeeze the end to open the slotted hole. If nothing comes out, there is a wire ring holding it on that you can squeeze to pull the tube off. Stick a pencil into the plastic spout to dislodge any debris.

Normally the water spills onto the front passenger side. I've read about other similar cars getting water in the back floor so the floor pan must be flat so the water can run there. Another problem is caused if a drain tube becomes disconnected from the sunroof, but you obviously must have a sunroof, and you said it doesn't get wet in the rain.
