Could that get water in the trunk?

The sunroof drains through little hoses that hang down a few inches
behind
the rear wheel wells, up behind the plastic bumper cover wraparounds.
The hoses terminate in a little crimp which I believe is intended to
allow water
to drip out without junk getting in the hose. As they age, the crimp
begins to stick,
and the water doesn't drip so well, and if you get enough rain, it
overflows and
enters the car behind the rear seat.  To fix the problem, squeeze the
end of the
hose, opening it.  I do this once or twice a year as routine maintenance
to keep
them unstuck.
