Water, water everywhere!!!

I know this has come up before, but I can't find the appropriate solution. My carpet on the right (passenger) rear side is soaked. Therefore, my windows all steam up overnight with condensation. I know there are drains everywhere and perhaps one or more are clogged. Where do you suggest I look for the drains and how do you clean them? Thanks.

Is it actually water? It may be engine coolant. A failing heater core will dump coolant in that spot.

Notice any kind of a Gummy Smell?
Antifreeze smells a bit like that when the mix comes out of a Heater Core, and through carpet.
Slippery fluid?

I doubt if is a heater core leak if it is on the rear area of the passenger side. Put some paper towels down on the carpet to absorb the moisture and see what color comes up. if its clear or slightly dirty, its probably just water; yellowish-green would be coolant

It could be the sunroof drain on that side. Check this thread:

You can also do a search for "wet carpet" or "sunroof drains" (without the quotes)

It is definitely water, not coolant.

There are also little drains in the trunk behind the rear wheels. These are in addition to the sunroof drains. They are hard plastic and will plug up over time.

You would have to take the trunk liner (and wheel liner) out to get access to them.
