Default 2000 New Beetle - blocked cowl drains ?!

My wife's 2000 Neue Beetle took on nearly three inches of water during very heavy rain last week.

It does NOT have a sunroof.... repeat: no sunroof.


We have a lot of trees on our block, and I am certain the drains in fresh-air intake of the cowl are blocked.

The only drain mentioned in Haynes is for the A/C, and is located on the front side of the firewall.

I am assuming there are drains at each corner of the cowl, near or in the door pillars, but I can't find any drain holes or tubes...

Where / what am I looking for ?

( PS: I had the cowl plenum cover / screen out back in the fall to repair loose wiper linkage and cleaned-out a lot of debris then; I am planning on doing this again, but also want to make sure all the drains are clear...)

Thanks in advance !
