If you found a way to do this on the passenger side, you're a better man than I. The washer fluid reservoir basically screws you out of having any hope to access the drain on that side. I'll be tearing apart the drivers side next weekend, I'm assuming I'll have no issue accessing that one.
Even if the tubes are kinked inside behind the kick panel, I'm also not sure how you go about correcting that? The hole to access it once you peel the carpet back, is so small I can barely get a couple fingers in there. Fortunately I could confirm mine was not kinked by the looks of it.
I blew compressed air through mine first. I seem to get plenty of flow through them, but they are backing up a bit when a flood of water goes through. So air wasn't really able to help me.
I will most likely be moving to the fishing line trick for my passenger side before I spend a day removing the fender.
