Floor damp

The rear passenger side floor on my 85 feels damp. I was just wondering where would the car be leaking for that perticular area in the car to be damp.
Thanks

If you would have said p/s front I would say heater core. But with p/s rear I would think rusty floor pans. How does the under side of the car look?

The under side is mint not even any surface rust, and I don't drive it in the rain so could it be comming from a ttop or door or even rear lid seal?
Thanks

You could try running a garden hose over the t-top and around the door and see if water gets in.

Nearly all water leaks come from above, and i dont mean the almighty.
It only usually comes in from the road if your going through a stream, and you have all the floor bungs out. Remove the rear seats and get comfy elsewhere,shut all doors etc, and get a friend with a hosepipe to trickle some water around and see if you can see anything seeping through anywhere.
Ive used the car wash before today, but hosepipe is cheaper.
Its probably targa roof\door seals\tailgate seals\roof rail seals etc.
