So, how on earth does water accumulate in the rear floor sections like that? The trunk is essentially rust free, under the rear seat is essentially rust free (although I think there is a critter nest), and the front floors seem to be much better off than the rears.
The firewall has no shortage of holes for water to get through, but I'd tend to think that the front floors would be worse off than the rears if that is where it was coming from. I suppose the rear foot wells are about the lowest point in the car, so that any water that gets in through the firewall eventually makes it's way back there to pool up (?)
I think for now, I may just go with one of the more temporary, band-aid type solutions, but at least do what I can to prevent any further spread of the problem. I'd rather spend the time and money getting the car mechanically tip-top so I can enjoy it the rest of the summer and fall. Then when winter rolls around and it gets taken off the road do things the proper way. It bugs me to "fix" things incorrectly, but I suppose at some point I need to admit this is a driver, not a show car, and not everything needs to be factory fresh.
