There are drains, 1 on each side located just behind the rear window. They are angled back. Take a small wire and ream that baby.

Just behind the rear window????
Can you please be a little more precise?

Excelsior9:
There is a seam that points down to the ground that mates the body and the underpan.
If you follow the seam along from the rear wheel well, you will come to what looks like a buckle in the seam directly below the rear window.
The opening is about 3/32 of an inch wide by about 3/4" long.
This is the drain.
Use a pipe cleaner or a 1/16" wire to evacuate the foreign material.
Be ready for a waterstream, and I would recommend to continue probing the drain while the water is running out to help any additional material to be flushed out.

I had a 1997 with same problem. I couldn't find the drain holes, so I just jacked it up and drilled myself and new BIGGER one.

I found a small mirror in the house laid it on the garage floor under the rocker area, it became quite clear where the water is supposed to drian out. Coat hanger, three quick jabs and I was sorry I wasn't out in the driveway. NO problems since.
