Water Leak in rear passenger's floorpan?

Hey, well its currently raining season in SGV cali, and I am experiencing a water of puddle, not on the rubber mats, but under it, right in the center.

So if you lift up your rear seats, take out the floor mats, you will see an imprint of a puddle of water, I dont know where its coming from as I dont see a trail.

My windows are closed when its raining, and nobody sits in the backseat. There aren't floods here though. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas? Help? I think its coming from under the carpet?

Ive gone through some posts in the past about some ppl in the UK with ppl having leak problems through the trunk and tailgate.

They posted about that black rubber seal trim on the roof, I believe, and the body seams that you find when you open the hatch and look where the hinges are?

Ima check through the dealer first, then see what happens before I go do some silicone work.

My Fit is a 2007 of Feb. I suggest fit owners to look under their floor mats or something after a storm. I didnt check the spare wheel area, but I think I should. But anyone experience this? Didnt expect a leak so fast.

I had this problem exactly, but it turned out that my Mugen visor on the rear passenger door was a little leaky and I left my window down a bit. Now I leave that window closed.

Yes i had the same problem in the begining when i bought my car.
One day after an heavy rain i open the passenger rear door and it look
like a pool, damn a new car.
I whent to my local dealer and even after 3 times they coldnīt solve the problem. Even them donīt no how to solve this.
So the last time they removed the rear door and seal it, and they applyed a special ink underneat the car for seal it , they say.
And at this days i donīt have no more problem.
