The wood under the carpet in the rear compartment is deteriorated with moisture and wood rot due to water getting in somehow. I suspect the water got in from a bad rear compartment seal? I can't think of any other way it is getting in.

How you are going to cut out the bad wood and replace it, etc. Also, besides replacing the rubber seal around the rear compartment, I am thinking about riveting an aluminum drip shield over the rear door. Any thoughts?

The carpet is stretched on tack strips along the walls which are under the cabinets. And if it's wet it really should be removed. If you can reach the carpet through the bottom of the cabinet maybe you could pull it up and cut it off around the edges?
