wet rear floor

Guys
I have found that my rear floor pan is wet on my SL320 , more on the right that the left, what could cause this, my initial thoughts are that the roof is letting in water but also could be a seal that has gone somewhere....
any ideas where and what to look for???

Regards

Raj

Check to see if your drains are plugged. Look under the spring loaded "flaps". Blow them out with compressed air.

Wow thats the first I've heard this on a R129. You saw that a lot on the early 107's all the time.

If your car has been exposed to the elements for most of its life, good chances are dirt, leaves and other debris have clogged up your drainage system and/or the rubber seals drying out.
