Hi, I've just replaced my E30 with an E36 and after quite a session trying to clean the roof (thread coming about that!) I've noticed that under the rear seat and the right hand rear footwelll are soaked.

I have a couple of questions.

I've unblocked the drain holes in the hood storage compartment but is there anywhere else I should be looking?

I've removed the rear seat base to dry out but could do with some guidance on removing the rear seat back and rear quarter side panels so I can make sure there's no more issues.

Thanks in advance.
