I've been leary of vacumming the drains from the bottom. That drain hole (as viewed on the passenger side) is way small. I'm afraid of sucking something in and then it clogging. I really don't want that drain to clog up. If there is debris on the top when it's up, I'll blow it off and clear it away from the driver's side before I put the top down. When I wash the car, I rinse from the driver's side to the passenger's side purposely. Pain in the ass.
