Can't take credit for that, it was someone else.  s8) 8) s8)  

I didn't wanna risk the electronics I have in the bins, so I wanted to get rid of the issue for good. 4th summer without any signs of water in the car, before that it was a yearly issue...probably cause I park under a tree.

Here's my solution:

Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

Well I used the Electric flex method. Forced it down from above until I could hear it was through into the vent space. I rigged up a funnel/ pipe combination to direct the water and used water, poking, water, further poking for a while until it appeared to be running thru and not backing up. I did the same on the passenger side altho there was no sign at all of anything blocking it. Strangely when I took the bin out to mop up any left over water I found it was completely bone dry. The only water inside the car had been pools in the two lowest parts of the plastic bin, very odd.

Still it has pissed down severely today so I shall see what the bin looks like now.

Hi John, and welcome to the site!
I think your research refers to piped drainage in houses. There arent really any comparisons with the cars drainage system, other than that air circulation promotes drying out of the system, a good thing for preventing fungal growth.
The UK weather tends to give the system a good flush out an an irregular basis, so as long as the drains are cleaned out occasionally, no problems should occur.
