i dont have a sol (unfortunately) so i could be wrong........ but, a trunk leak would suggest the rubber thingie around the trunk is torn, worn, or just out of place... or your trunk is not properly aligned with the body.........

i had the exact same problem in my '94 coupe, and it turned out to be coming through the panel behind the license plate. of the four nuts that hold it on, three were loose, and water had clearly been pouring right through each one. i tightened those, and i'm golden.

Re: trunk leak? (I3iggy)
You won't get rid of the condensation until you are able to stop moisture from getting in there. So fix your seal, align the lid properly, or whatever the problem is and the condensation should stop.

remove the tail ights and clean off the seals >> that should do the trick. it has worked for me on civics and an accord. you might need new ones if they look dry or old. they cost maybe 25 beans at the dealer

Tail light has openings and when you get water in the trunk, condensation occurs. My hatch used to leak due to bad gasket. After I replace those, problem solved. I suggest you replace gaskets every 2 years. They are cheap.
Weather strip on the other hand, are rather hard to leak compare to gaskets.
