Rear water drain Lines

Where do the drain lines originate on the rear of the milano's. I'm getting condensation in the trunk and it looks like I must have some lines plugged. I have the front all cleaned out.
Thanks

There are no drain lines around the trunk as far as I know. There's vents under the C-pillar trim to let air in/out, but that's it.

If you're getting water in the trunk, common points of entry are:

1) Trunk seal not sealing
2) Seals on taillights decayed or not tight
3) Ingress through the C-pillar vent (can happen if the trim piece was removed and not properly reattached)
4) Leakage around the rear window

I ended up pulling the trunk trim and getting in there with a flashlight and a walkie talkie. Then I sealed myself in and had my wife spray everything with the hose until I found the leaks. Not a job for the large or claustrophobic.

In my case, turned out to be one of the C-pillar vents and part of the seal around the rear window. Much easier to fix than to find, let me tell you.

And do not neglect the radio antenna bezel; a common leak source. A little RTV between the plastic and the sheet metal works wonders.

There are sunroof drain lines that come out back there, they wouldn't be routed through the trunk though.

If memory serves me, there is a drain tube from the antenna that dumps into the trunk.
