Default 97 Sebring Water Sloshing behind seat?

Hi all and thanks for the op to post! I just bought my wife a '97 JX Convertible. Nice nice ride, and was well taken care of. 1 owner car and all work was done by the Dealer. 130K on the motor and the Trans was just rebuilt. Drive like a dream! Problem: The rear window has seperated from the "rag top" at the bottom and water has been leaking in. It seems the fabric has just shrunk. I am attempting to address that problem. I noticed that after it rains the rear floors are soaked. And last night I noticed a large (by sound) amount of water sloshing around, behind the seat! What is up with that. I can not find any access point/ If you have an idea, please let me know. It would certainly be well appreciated! Thanks!

There is a series of slots or drain holes located in a the seam where the rocker panel meets the undercarriage. Follow the sheet metal on the side of the car under the door until it turns down. There are about 3 to 5 drain slots that commonly get plugged up. Stick a srewdriver up the slots and pry a little bit and a lot of water will start flowing out.
