91 Maxima air ducts under seats?

Hey, I have a 91 maxima gxe..

i recently encountered a problem with my sunroof (leaking) and when i went to vacuum under the seats, i noticed there were two vents (one under each seat)
I was wondering if they actually were air ducts. I tried turning my a/c to "floor" and feeling for air flow from them but felt nothing.

Is there something wrong with my car or are those there for something else?

I know this might be a silly question but i'd appreciate any information at all. thanks.

drain lines...
take off the rear handles on the headliner.. pull down the headliner.. look at the rear drain lines(all from the rear seats) pull off the lines... and see whats in them... they drain out under the car behind the rear wheels.

dont forget the ones in the front, those are pretty visible when the sunroof is open, just push a wire down through them, or blow them out with air

with mine, the outlets were plugged up in the rear. just stick a wire up there and jangle it around. no leaks for me!

thanks for all the advice! i stuck a wire up the rear right plug and had just a few drops...could be good, but not really what i was expecting...is there any way you can do it from the top? i pulled my roof down but couldn't pull the drain hose off up there! i'll see what i got layin around in my garage to clean up those lines..again thanks for all the help.

by the way..does anyone happen to have any pictures behind the radio? possibly where the main heat vent branches out? i'm thinkin about takin all that apart, and i'm sure i could figure things out..but i was just wonderin if anyone's done it and can show me what it should look like back there..thanks.
