Then it is your vapor barriers. They are held in place with a non hardening sealer that can come loose over the years. I'd buy a pair of them for the rear doors and clean the door down to the metal, then glue the bottom part to about 3-4 inches up the sides with windshield urethane. Using the roll-o-tar stuff that is originally equipped for the rest.

And you likely need to remove the rear seat and door sill trims to be able to get under the carpet and fully dry it. The molded foam under the carpet holds moisture like a chamois sponge. You can think you got it 100% dry from the top and it will still have loads of water underneath it that will mold and smell horrible.
