Water Leak FTL

Some of you know im a courier. i bought my civic in novemberish and as of today i have 48k on it. Welp for the past few weeks. i was smelling something nasty, thought no mind of it, maybe a taco bell wrapper somewhere. So i was doing the weekend clean. I pulled my floor mat to clean it, it was kind of wet. i figured eh wahtever rain on shoes blah blah blah. Then i felt the carpet, a little wet. So i pulled the trim to check it out. REALLY WET. Then i proceeded to notice the carpet under the seat was wet. Pulled out the seat. WET AS HELL. Rear floor carpet SPLASHED. WTF. So i pull all seats pull carpet out, weighs litterally 60 lbs. PISSED. Yank back seat up, PUDDLES under seat. WTF. So i do some investigating. Bottom of left rear bolster is a lil wet. So i though i left the sunroof tilted and water channelled in. So i bewn ridin interiorless for about a week. Welp it has rained yesterday and today. Guess fin what, water on the FLO! I pull up the seat, I found some gravel from the road, a 1/4" steel ball (marble?) and a june bug. WTF. so im at one of my stops. I look around the bolster areo and i see light. I put my hand into the fender well and voila, I see my hand. I look under and somehow the black tar sealant had pulled off or got hydro impacted and blew the grommet and the tar sealant out. So i have this huge 2-3" whole, down i nthe office, dont knwo what to name it. oh champ, I think i ate your chocolate squirrell. Sorry. Uh anyways i compared to the other side and sure enough there is a big lump there with a circular thingy covered in body tar. wHERE as on the other side, I have a hole. of course my car is out of warranty, so i gotta buy new carpet and floor mats. Its my birthday the 3rd of july, thats what i want. Carpet. FML
