Check the tail light gaskets or sunroof drain lines for cloggage.

The tail light gaskets are the most common cause.

If you see water condensation inside your taillights (just looking at them from behind the car), then that's probably what it is.

Common sense says the gaskets are behind the tail lights, right? Therefore you must remove the tail lights.

To remove the tail lights there are 6 10mm nuts that hold them in place. Once you remove the plastic paneling on the rear bulk head, you'll see what Im talking about.

It wasn't an apology. I was merely pointing out your lack of common sense.

I placed a small amount of RTV around the sealing lip where the taillights meet the gasket. That cured my taillight leak. My main problem was water acccmulating in my taillight.

Id check the sunroof drainage hose.. Same thing happend to my friend and we took the interior molding off and his drainage hose was pulled of the other tube which was causing it to leak into the trunk it can be easily fixed.
