Happy fathers day to all who fill that role

My plane has been out on the ramp since May 1st. This is the first time it has been out of a hanger, and on a ramp in about 16 years. The last few weeks we have had buckets of rain. A few days ago I was poking around the plane and discovered that the baggage compartment carpeting - aft most portion, was soaked with water. Additionally, the side paneling and fiberglass insulation under it, was soaked from the cabin floor up about three inches.
The side paneling was only wet on the area of the baggage compartment. The rest of the cabin, from the back of the rear seat forward to the firewall, and all associated side panels, was dry as a bone. The hat shelf was also very damp but not as wet as the carpet. The carpet in the very back, by the bulkhead was so wet you could wring it out like a facecloth.
The door and window seals are all new, and that area seems to be staying dry. The upper edge of the windshield was resealed with the two part window sealer this past winter and the headliner seems to be dry with no stains.
The wing root has masking tape between the wing and cabin. I'm just not sure how far back along the top it goes.
Can anyone point out common problem areas I should be looking into ??
Thanks in advance,
Kyle T.
