Default Backseat Carpet is SOAKED!

So today, I noticed that the carpet on both sides of the backseat are soaked! I have no idea how this happened, but everytime I tried drying it up, it did help. Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

Yes. I don't have the luxury of garaging mine since I am just a college student.

So , I may be wrong but I think there is a drain that may get clogged and cause issues. I think this is part of the reason the amps fail.

I've heard of drains getting clogged, but which one would it be? And the thing is my amp is still working just fine.

There is TSB for this. The drain to your AC gets clog and the water backs up. The water comes in near the rear driver seat under the carpet. Its well documented, you can find it with a search

Do you happen to know the TSB number? I tried looking into the different TSB, but couldn't find this one.

Happened to the previous owner of my car. Lexus paid for all new carpets to be installed throughout.

I have a thread going back in 7/08/2014 about this if you can locate it. Had it fixed at a Toyota dealership.
