Doug,

I've got the same problem.  Today when I was changing the rear heater core I
discovered the same thing.  I do not know where it is coming from.  I
suspect that it comes from the sliding door latch bolt holes but I'm not
sure.  If you find out please let me know.

Thanks
Jere

Subject: Water in interior panel by slider

Hi all,
I pulled my back bench seat out and the angled interior panels out and began
vacuuming and found almost 3 inches of  standing water in the interior panel
by the slider. This is below the passenger side rear quarter window which
must be leaking around the seal?  I know there is factory was sprayed down
in there but apparently it holds water with no small drainage?  where can I
drill from underneath to let the water out.  It seems lower toward the
front.  

Anybody else run into this?  

That darn rust behind the window seals is a bugger, I've got it on the
windshield of my 85 too. leaks to the passenger foot well when it rains
hard.  

Thanks,

Doug
