Not really sure on that model. Should have drain holes, though, probably in
the front corners. I wouldn't use too high of pressure to blow 'em out,
though. Don't want to split a hose up inside the A pillar.

I looked at a pic of the car after I wrote the above paragraph. It really
looks like the drains should be in the front, but I could see that if they
were in the rear corners that parking at an extreme nose down angle might
cause water to pool up and leak. Might try backing it into the driveway so
it's nose up and see what happens.
