there are rear drain hoses, but I do not think the top ends are easily accessible. You can find the bottom ends underneath, behind the rear wheels. I never messed with mine, but I haven't had a problem with thee drains in two and half years so far. is yours a 2005?

Nice to see someone else is getting 40ish mpg on the highway...no one ever believes me when I tell them I got 41-42 on relatively flat interstates last weekend. I got 40 mpg the first road trip I ever took it on when it was 6 months old, and the dealership didn't even believe I'd gotten that kind of gas mileage when I went in for the oil change after I got back. But it gets that consistently on trips, so I know it's not just a bad gas pump kicking off too soon...apparently a few of these Vibes get phenomenal gas mileage. Glad mine's one of them! LOL
