I was gone on vacation for a week when we had very heavy rain in MD. When I got back, I had several inches of water on the passenger side floor and under the rear seat! W.T.F?? I thought that there was some leak from the rear window curtain I had installed in June. The trunk was bone dry!
As I was wet-vacc'ing the water out with the top down, I noticed that there was water sitting in the well inside the rear quarter panel. I pushed the vacuum in there too and noticed leaves blocking the bottom drain hole - alas, the source of the flood! After cleaning the drain, I poured water in and it drained properly. Cleaned out the drivers side too. Thus far, it's taken almost 4 days for the carpet to dry out, despite the wet vac and use of shammy's for absorbing the water out of the carpet. Glad it wasn't the top. The lesson learned is to keep an eye on the drain and ensure that it's kept debris-free:read:
