WATER IN INTERIOR HELP

I just got a 89 t/a for FREE!!! It is in decent shape but it sat for 2 years so i am trying to fix up all the loose ends. One condern i have is that the rear carpets are soaked, so i am thinking i am going ot do a complete seal kit. This means, windows, t-tops, door seals, everything. My question is that when i was stripping out the interior i noticed that behind the dash board is also wet. Could the windsheild be leaking also> or is it probably condensation from inside the car. What would you guys guess be? and also where can i get a good seal kit for this car? any help is greatly appreciated.

my guess is the ttops were leaking and the water was dripping down the a-pillar into the back of the dash. the seal kits and almost anything else you need for the interior are available from Hawks Third Gen Parts-82-02 Camaro and Firebird Parts - Home

If it were me, and since it was free, and since there's nothing to lose because it's already soaked - take it to the car wash and spray the hell out of EVERYTHING with the power washer - have a friend spray while you are inside checking for leaks. You might save a buttload of cash on weatherstripping - maybe the previous owner left the window down - he/she must not have cared much for it since he/she gave it away for free.
