Who else's got a wet trunk?

I think my sunroof drains might have been clogged. Any suggestions as to the best way to dry it out?

you can pull out one of those round black plugs to drain the water then towel dry or leave it in sunlight for a little while

I'll check again, but I don't think those are removable plugs.

they should be, they're put there to drain out spills.

here's a video of someone pulling a trunk drain plug out of a car:

not a volkswagen but it's a very common feature for cars to have

You are correct, they are plugs, but two of them are glued in place. The other two, the ones closer to the rear, are removable. They're not at the lowest point so in order to drain the trunk completely, you have to park on an incline apparently.
