Default Leak in rear windshield, car flooded *pics*

So i noticed after 4 steady days of rain that my back seat and floor were soaked with water, so what do i do? remove my interior to find the culprit.... turns out its the rear windshield that needs to be cut out and put back in... here's some pics of the ordeal....

The culprit (i'm pushing up from inside, it doesnt hang out like that on its own)...





Everything removed...


Pictures of the flood...





And finally after i wiped down the interior with a rag and soapwater...




ENJOY!

as of now... the remainder of the panels in the back are removed including the center console piece, but the 2 front seats are back in so i can drive around until i have the windshield fixed..... WOW its loud now

the rear seats should be fine other than a little discoloration on the underside, but i'm thinking about replacing the carpet... this leak has been there since i bought the car last summer so the carpet has been getting soaked and drying out over and over, its quite nasty......
