Waterlogged

Have had loads of electrical issues recently with flat battery, remote locking and alarm stopping working.
Had an electrics man look at it today and said base of car was soaked through. I think it must all be coming from the blocked drainage holes in the sun roof. I've had this problem before but not so severe. Can anyone remind me where the little drainage holes are located as I've looked and can't see them. I wonder if anyone else has had the waterlogged undercarriage problem like me? Would a dehumidifier dry the car out effectively?
Thanks

Soggy, the pano roof front drains are underneath car roughly level with the a pillar. All you will see are rubber outlets that need squeezing together to release any crap. The rear ones I guess are similar under the c pillar. My carpet still smells musty from a previous blockage!

But where are the drainage holes within the electric sunroof mechanism?
Anyone?

The drainage holes for the rear part of the (pano) sunroof are by the hinges to the upper tailgate. They are quite large, so blockage is unlikely.

As mentioned, its worth checking the fronts though, as the ends of the drain tend to stick together, so the debris builds up - quite surprised how much came out of mine.

A desiccant dehumidifier would dry it out well.
