I don't know of any list, but I would make sure the AC condensate drain line is clear (as Richard mentioned) and that the weep holes in the doors are clear. Water can get into the doors past the rubber seals at the bottom of the movable glass. Each door will have a least one or two holes or slots so that the water can drain out of the door.

Further, the cowl drains are located behind the front wheel openings. Gently pour some water into the cowl, one side at a time, and see where the water drains out of the body.

Thank you guys. Lets see;

1. A/C drain
2. Door drains (1 or more per door)
3. Cowl drains (1 behind each front wheel opening)
4. There should be some in the door sills too.

BTW these are good things to check on occasion w or w/o undercoating.

Anything else anyone can think of to check for blockage after undercoating?
I don't know may way around the site enough to know if there is a way to have a list somewhere that anyone could add to it. If not I think you could click on the "Quote" and add to it or I can go back and edit this post to add things and put "Addition" in "reason for editing".
