The Ford Barn

I recently bought a 1935 Ford convertible. On it first car wash water came into the back floor through the lower end of the rumble seat. In other forums they stated that that is the way it is, there are two holes on the floor for the water to drain.

Has anyone come up with a clever way to seal the rumble seat. It seems to me that the water draining into the inside of the car will cause corrosion problems.

I ordered a T shaped silicone weather strip that I am going to try to wedge in the seat opening; that could be removed when using the rumble set and put back on. Any other solutions will be welcomed.
