I'll give this a try as soon as I locate the drains. The car is pretty much spotless; I haven't found any leaves or debris anywhere. You can see pics in this thread.

The cabin filters, though, are something that I hadn't thought of. I'm not sure they've EVER been replaced and I'll check into those right away.

Thanks.
