Hello everyone. My 2014 CX5 Touring has developed a mildewy smell. Unfortunately I live in a farm house with no garage and have to park overnight under oak trees that al aways spread crud all over. Mixed with the frequent Oregon rain I suspect it has clogged the drainage channels. Where are the drainage openings in the rear? Thanks, Paul

What makes you think there are drain holes in the rear hatch?

Open the hatch.
On the far left and right are two little rubber stoppers, just push it when your finger and it'll open up and water will come out if there are any.
Also the plastic hand grab can come off for a bigger opening too.

So how does water get into the hatch?

A month after I got my 2014 Touring, someone pried the hatch light off my hatch. Bent/Dented some of the metal. I got new hatch light and came with weather sealing, but I still think water gets in. After I wash my car I have to wiggle the rubber stoppers and let all the water out.
