Default Water leaking into trunk

Hi.

Would like some help with finding where the leak comes from.
A while ago, I found out water was leaking into my trunk. There was water leaking from the taillights. I changed the piece if foam between the taillights and the body.

It rained again today and I found water in my trunk again. The taillight area is dry.
So there must be another place leaking
Any advice as to where to look into?

Could be coming from the antenna.

Or you could lower the backseats, get in the trunk and have a friend spray the trunk with a garden hose to find the leak

I currently have the rear stripped. I guess I'll try to spray water from the outside and see where it's leaking
I don't have an antenna. I shaved the antenna on my car.

Your first post tells me that it's most likely the seal of your tail light. I had same the issue with water leaking into the trunk after I had a minor accident in my old 99 GSR that required a repair and removal of the tail light. Everything was great after it was repaired until it rained. I took it back and they simply removed the tail light and used a thin layer of sealer, not sure what kind though, but it never leaked again. My best guess would be a glass sealant like the type used for windshields? Hope it helps and good luck.

2nd step is to check the weather seal from the hatch/trunk.
