Convertible waterlogged in side panel

[19susie65]

Hi, my 2001 convertible is holding water in the passenger side rear panel, below the roof mechanism in the side of the car. I'm guessing there is a drainage hole somewhere that is blocked. Does anyone have a clue where the hole may be? The water is getting deep, and I'm concerned it's going to start running over into the storage compartments at the rear of the seats.
Thanks,
Sue

I managed to fix it, by following an instruction elsewhere on the net. Very useful article at the following link :

Basically, the drainage hole is behind the side vent panels. You just flick the vent cover off and unblock the hole. Piece of cake. I'm no mechanic and I completed the job in about 30 mins. Just a broken finger nail, and I can cope with that :-) Probably saved at least £100 down at the Toyota garage.
