Sunroof drains, give them a poke with a coathanger.

Perhaps sealing your drains has something to do with this?

When you pulled the carpet up did you check for any signs of rust, particualrly in up the front around the firewall as that's a great place for rust.

Did you actually seal the drain plugs where the rubber stops are??? You shouldn't have done that, IMO.

didnt seal any rubber stops... just the big plugs (about 5 inches wide) that are covered with that thick under seal crap, it looked like they have been pushed up from the car bottoming out.
