The thick foam underneath the passenger carpet saturated with stagnant water, and a slight damp humid smell in the cabin now and then. Needs a good period of warm dry weather to air and dry it out while the carpet is propped up. Doesn't hurt to get a few of those moisture absorbing tubs in there too.

The D2's central drain plugs seemed to get bunged up with leaves and cr@p fairly easily, and it collected within that plug. I imagine the D3's would be the same, unless there is a point further down the drain which is more prone to blockages. Mine was bone dry this time but it takes less than a minute to peel the top of the carpet back now and then just to check the state of things, so certainly worth doing.
