Ok, so, I am setting up an appointment to take my car in ASAP, but I really need to ask, has anyone ever heard of this happening and do you happen to know if there is a solution to how I may fix this at home without having to pay a small fortune at a mechanic?

I dont know how, I dont know why, but the rear passenger side footwell and throug hthe bottom of the passenger side seat is literally completely flooded. Based on stepping on it and how much water rises up through the carpet it is about 2-3cm of water. It's a lot. Its not in the front which makes me doubt it is the AC, and its is not all over the place, EG, not down the side of the seat or sides of the floor carpeting which makes me believe that it is probably not weather sealing. It has been raining a LOT but I didn't go through any puddles (I avoid them like the plague) and it has rained before and I didn't have this happen. I am just very confused. I am also worried about the electronics under the passenger seat getting damaged because the cables are right in it.

I attempted to sop up what I could with a towel since I unfortunately don't have a wet vac or a shop vac that is safe to use with water. My mechanic is closed til monday and I probably cant be seen til at least tuesday, so I want to do whatever I can to make sure it doesnt mold and hopefully get those cables out of the water.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and does anyone have any magic remedies to try to sop more of this up? I don't mind working on my car myself if someone has heard of this happening before and knows whats causing it and what to do, but I am completely unsure right now as what to do besides scratch my head and hope it doesnt promote early rusting or electrical issues.
