What he's referring to is an issue that plagues all of these cars... under the seat (and in the trunk) are computers. If a leak develops, the computers go haywire. That's what you're going after - not just a simple cable or sensor. Somewhere I have a picture of what's underneath my passenger's seat - I'll post it later. POSSIBLY just drying things out real good will good... possibly. (assuming this is the issue, of course).

At the very least, weep holes.

Or maybe just a simple water sensing alarm would be easy solution. You can buy a battery operated one of those for about $10. I use one to let me know when the Christmas tree water reservoir is full.
I'm pretty sure there is a plug that can be removed from underneath the vehicle? If a duckbill valve was installed in the drain... maybe that would solve the issue of keeping stuff (and mice) from getting back in?
