just use a small razor blade and be careful and you should not have to disconnect anything, I didn't. If you are talking about the connectors I thnk you are talking about, you need to squeeze them from both sides, and then one end of it rotates out of position, unlocking it. But as I said before, you should not have to do that.

Get a pic if you want me to look at it.

well.... if I could squeeze my butt down there I would'nt have to disconnect anything... but since I can't, this is going to be "to be continued" untill next week sometime when I can get it into the Auto shop on post so that I have the right tools to remove the seats and things.....
After I got digging under the carpet on the front I realized all the water I was seeing in the back was coming from the front. I could clearly see the stream of water running from under the dash along the base board, under the carpet, under the passanger seat and pooling in the back. So, once I get it to the shop I am going to strip out the seats so that I can remove all the carpeting to allow it to dry properly. With the front seats out I will have no problem accessing those drain connections. That will also give me a chance to fix my seat heaters.

sounds like a good plan. I didn't realize you didn't have the seats out. that is 100% necessary.

Thats same problem I had with the front drains , that hardened hose runs down thru the dash and connects to a softer black rubbery hosethat goes to the wheel well.The connection between the hoses is loose and it come apart.so I pulled out the hose going in the dash and thread a new hose thru dash to the wheel well and joined it to the existing hose.It wasnt easy but it worked great once I got it.

is it possible to access the drain hose through the wheel well at all? Not sure that would help at all.... just curious.

if you remove the splash guards, yes.
