Since getting the van several years ago I seem to have been plagued by wet floors. Since there are many forum topics on the subject I assume several others have had this issue. I tried a lot of sealing solutions only to have soggy drivers side carpets throughout Vancouver's winter.
Only this year I've found that the water was coming from below! After doing more maintenance this year and having the drivers seat out several times I found that my floor pan was rusted through in several places. A seat mount bolt also had a porous hole letting water spray come up into the carpeting thus saturating it.
Heres the horror:

After grinding it down I applied some fibreglass saturated POR15 patches. Quick fix until I can properly MIG weld a patch in. But dry floors ever since. Just my 2 cents so maybe check underneath if you're racking your brain about a wet floor. Cheers
