Default random puddle?

ok so the other day i noticed my whole back driver side floor was a sheet of ice, most random thing ever, and the mat was under this block of ice and my hat was stuck in it too.. idk where it came from and it just smelt like water.. and felt like it too once i started to melt it. so thus far its mostly all gone since ive been using blow dryers and suckin up the water with a shop-vac but i just dont understand where it came from.... didnt have any water bottles or anything back there.. my back seats are always clean of anything.

Plugged drains. Check the drains under your battery & sunroof drains, there probably others but that will at least give you some search topics.

Sunroof drain possibly, I know one runs to the back somewhere. Was a window cracked/door not closed? Was it locked, some one could have pranked you... Very strange, Ive seen a small drop run down the inside of my windshield once, but never enough to make a puddle... Yikes!

well i know the door light woulda been on if it was open, but idk im just sooo puzzled to why it was there.. and i did go through 2 car washes this past week and then it was just there i randomly discovered it... first time i wondering how the floor got wet was when my laptop bag was wet, then bam! couple days later i look and there was a block of ice on the floor... but w/e its gone now but just a little damp, i melted it all and sucked up the water with a shopvac and now i hope it doesnt come back, because it was making my windows ice up over night,, what a bitch... but w/e any help to where all the drains are? pics would help the most.

The underhood drain is kind of hard to see. The easiest way to get at it is to take the battery and battery tray out of the car. It's right under the middle of the battery tray, and it's a big ol' hole (1.5" diameter or so). It'll get clogged up with leaves and other yard junk as time goes on, leaving you with a bathtub that eventually reaches the cabin intake air filter and spills into the footwell of the passengers side of the car.

A shop-vac and some quick wrenching cleans things out nicely.

Car wash might be the key to the problem..

I would suspect the door seal on the rear drivers side is bad and the car wash blows water at the right angle to get thru.
