OK -- I finally determined that the drain in front of the passenger foot well was still clogged. But in so doing I discovered why it's always the passenger side that floods. There are actually 2 drains on the driver's side -- one in clear view and one under the master cylinder. So the driver's side has a "back-up" and twice the draining capacity. The passenger side has only one drain, and no redundancy.
So for those who are keeping count -- there are actually 7 drains in the car, not 4 like everyone says.
- 2 underneath the pivots for the soft-top (one on each side)
- 2 at the front of the rain drain just underneath the hard cover over the soft-top
- 2 in front of the driver's footwell, one in the open and one under the master cylinder
- 1 in front of the passenger's footwell, partially under the battery tray.
I'd recommend that these should all be cleaned out and tested that they flow water after every oil change.
