Default Water in the floorboards

Hey everyone,

My '04 xc90 T6 had an issue with the sunroof drains that has now been corrected, however I still hear water sloshing around during hard stops or cornering. Where's the best place to drill a hole to get this to drain? I can't exactly figure out where it is.

Also, what's the best way to dry out under the carpets? I was thinking about getting some desiccant bags to put under the seats, and blasting the heater to the floor for a while.

strong shopvac with a gulper nozzle and a wet compatible filter, and go nice and slow over the carpet, that will suck most of the water out, then leave the car open parked in the sun on sunny days to dry it out. or if its parked in a garage, open the windows, and put a 100W light bulb or small ceramic heater in the car to bake out the moisture.
