Ok thanks all for the (bad but predictably so) news. So let me ask a bonus question - Is there a way in hell I can pull these side tiles in a non destructive way and have a look at the interior damage ? If I cut the grout (with what? Dremel, special tool that cuts grout and not tile?) and gently pull on the tile with plastic trim tools, do I have a shot ?
Based on the water infiltration comments I went and looked again closer with a flashlight and I DID find a crack in the grout in one (wet side) spot. It's very small though and nowhere else on that bench seat - very close to the edge where the swelling is, so I am hoping it's limited in scope and that if I resealed that (grout and then silicone), opened it up from the outside, cut the probably wet backing and dried the inside and redid the sheetrock/re-cemented the tile I could avoid MAJOR$ surgery. Fooling myself much ? I'd rather not repaint the whole car if I can blend in the rear door if you know what I mean.. (just ate a big plumbing bill $$)
