Sorry for not owning a Saab, but you guys seem like you can help:

I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE. I have a pond of water underneath the carpet on the front and rear passenger side (more on rear side). My best guess is that it builds up after it rains. I have been told by Nissan that it could be a clogged up drain hose (due to leaves/sap clogging the drain hose). If that is the case, how do I locate it and how do I unclog it? Also, what is the best way to soak up the water? As many times as I have towel dried, there seems to be and more and water soaked into the cushion underneath the carpet.

PS - I have already checked for leaks by pouring water around the door trim, sunroof, front/rear windshield, but there is no water leakage. Thanks to anyone that can help!
