Thanks, Dave. Lotsa suggestions for this one... the strange thing is that I
first noticed the wetness when I had the car for three weeks, it'd been
100% sunny and hot all the time. This makes a leaky window/door seal less
likely, but I've been told that a blocked or loose a/c drain will make
moisture flow to the rear. I've also looked at the inside of the rear door
when it was raining, not a bit of moisture anywhere... the seals _look_
like they're in fine shape, can't find any splits or holes. However, I'll
try your suggestions when I look into it and will report back to the list
when I find something.
