Rain drainage buckets / water in footwells - updated w. pics
Holy crap, what a pain in the ass. I didn't actually get to remove the buckets because the drain itself that sits over/inside the bucket was a bitch just to loosen. There was one clip that I couldn't get loose so I had to bend it out of the way to get a vacuum hose into the drain bucket.
Anyway, just wanted to post this heads up. If you park your car under a tree, or park it outside, I highly recommend that you check the drainage buckets every once in a while. If they get clogged for any reason, your car is going to have water inside of it and that's never good.
I'm going to post up some pictures in the next few days to show you guys where the buckets are, the drains, and the grates that you can see between the hood and the windshield and what screws you have to remove...
I did research on this and no matter how many people have had this issue and explained their experiences, no one ever posted pics. That's no help at all.
Oh, and if any one can tell me how to completely remove the drains so I can access the buckets with out anything in the way, please post here for all of our information.

Just for interest, I looked for these parts in the WIS.
