Hey,
I'd like to thank anyone who assists me with my problem in advance.

Basically my problem is that both of my rear floor mats are absolutely soaked with water. Based off of some research, I am assuming a drain hose is clogged somewhere.
What I need to know is if this makes sense and if so, where is this hose located and how to access it.

Some information of the vehicle: 2009 Altima coupe 2.5. Purchased about 4 months ago has about 80,000kms, never have had any signs of leakage until this happened yesterday. It has been exposed to tons of rain before with no problems. No seals look visibly worn in doorways or sunroof. I haven't taken the car in to the dealer yet as I am hoping this is an easy fix. There is no water leakage anywhere else in the car except the back floor. (Any other necessary info, please just ask)

Again, thanks in advance. Any ideas on how to fix this problem are greatly appreciated.

Welcome to NICO!

That is an odd problem to have, especially since it doesn't seem as though you have any issues at the front of the car.

Have you folded down the rear seats and checked there? Is there any evidence of issues at the trunk?

Not sure if this will be of any help but here's what happened to me.

A couple months ago I noticed that my FRONT passenger carpet was getting soaked in one corner. Then I noticed that when I use the AC for a while and then turn the AC off but keep the fans on, there was water gushing out from the footwell near the center. In the end, it was just the AC drain hose that came lose and was spewing all the condensation from the AC system into the cabin instead of leading it to the outside through the bottom of the car. All I had to do was just push the hose back in and that was that.

In your case however, it might have to do with the vents and piping under the front seats. Hope that helped, good luck
