Default REAR floor wet

Drove my 07 XK yesterday, and noticed today, water coming from underneath and ran out of the garage. Fair amount of water. Traced it coming from the REAR passenger floorboard. Front passenger floor is dry, but rear floor is wet. Would this be the infamous duckbill issue? Seems all I've read about, is the passenger side being wet, assuming it's the front most are referring to. Would my rear be the same problem?

Would the water have a place to hide for a couple of days before it comes out? Had not been drive in the rain for 2-3 days and it is garage kept. Forgot to mention it is a convertible. The top was replaced a couple of months ago, but this just showed up...

Got back to your new top installer, it is probably a leaking top.

Happened again. It has been garage kept, no drive in the rain, no wash, no water from outside sources. There is no antifreeze in the water coming out so I assume it's condensation. I'm guessing it's the duckbill and water is travelling on top of the transmission and finding its way in at the bolts under the passenger seat. That is where the carpet is wet. After the last couple of drives, a fair amount of water exits the car from under the passenger seat area onto garage floor to where it puddles and runs all the way out of the garage. I don't want the carpet to mildew or start to smell.

Please, Any ideas or suggestions?!

Default Wet Rear Drivers Footwell

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this issue? I have the same problem on my 2008 XKR convertible. The water only builds up after a long drive, at speed and collects in the void below the drivers seat. Once there’s enough water in there, the carpet start to soak it up. I am 100% convinced it’s A/C condensate, as the 2 occasions I have experienced it were after 1000 mile trips, in the dry.
