Moisture in the trunk of convertible

There is a large amout of moisture in my truck for some reason; The seals seem to be intact but large amout of condensation is still building. The car is a 1990 convt.

I left a shirt in there for 2 weeks, just checked it, and its soaked...looks like it came out of the washer. Its that bad.

The drains for the top run into the drain in the trunk.

Oh well I just ripped apart my truck and found about 6 inches of water in my spare tire slot... cool;
The drains on my side had alot of dirt in them so could that have been the problem?

if you can't fix the drain tubes or the rain guards (in the corners of the top), you can get new ones at convertibletopguys.com
