Should there be drain holes in the rear like i have in the front of my Mini on the roof gutter? My rear ones seem to be filled in for some reason. If so, should i just drill them out? Then touch them up with paint. My Mini is a 1990 Studio 2  998cc. Thank you much          Gary

Yes. The design actually requires the car to be driven regularly for them to drain, or parking on a hill.

Our minis all have drain gaps above the seam strips, not a hole but the full width of the seam strip, also make sure the seam strip is sealed at the top to stop water going down the seams, and thus into the car
