Default Leak Help

Ok...there is a leak in my vert. its a 95. When it rains alot there is water under the passenger bucket and floor board. the water where the bucket is pools up, but in the floorboard its not as much. when sitting in the car I never notice any leaks. I have checked all through the trunk area and the fuel tank hump and all of that seems dry. anyone have any insight. I saw another post on here with a similar issue, but theirs was just on the floor. thanks in advance

HAHA... Recently I have discovered what I like to call the "Pool Mod". Everytime it rains I have to take a shop vac and suck the water from the bucket seat area and floorboards.

I myself am still a little confused on this issue, but I do know that some of the water comes from the lack of window seal I have. But 2 inches of water I dont think is coming from the windows. It is more on my passenger side, than the drivers.

Default Drain tube

Drop your top back about half way and check your drain to make sure there is no standing water. Look down inside of rear side panel and make sure there is no trash plugging drain tube.
