After I take the 2005 convertible through the car wash, water apparently accumulates under the rear seat on the driver side and any passenger ends up with a damp rear end. The top of the seat is dry - it comes up between the seat and rear cushion when someone sits there. It doesn't appear to affect the passenger side and doesn't appear to be caused by rain - only by the car wash. I don't see any obvious water coming in at the rear window. I'm not only concerned about rust but also about the moisture damaging the seat materials. Any suggestions where to start looking for the water infiltration?

I guess my next logical step is to remove the seat and have someone in the back watch for leaks with a flashlight while we go through the car wash...
