prolly those seals/gaskets around the taillights.. or maybe the rain/moisture is draining into your hatch somehow... isn't there a drain line back there?

its your taillight seals. they dry out and leak. replace with new ones or use 3m sealant and plenty of it. you'll dry up in no time.

the water might come from the top. I took my teg to an autobody shop once and that's what they fixed my problem: when it rain, on the top of the rear windshield, there is a hole for the water. The water will go into a tube that'll run to the driver side rear wheel fender. When water was leaking in my teg, the tube wasn't connect or tidely sealed at the inside and cause water to be in the trunk. I hope this help

could you please explain this a little more, i installed an s2k antenna and removed my antenna motor, i did notice a clear tube running into the rear driver side area, is that the tube you are talking about??
My trunk is drenched in water everytime it rains, its like a small pool.

This happens to me also, but even underneath the rear seat gets wet. Check under
your back seat. I wish I knew how that happens.

if you've ever taken out your tailLights
make sure all the bolts are tightly bolted
and that the gasket(betwen the light housing n the car) is not broken.

I use to have the same problem n did what i said n it fixed it.
but now i have it again......my bolts for taillights are fucked up thats why...
sux coz even the bottom of the backseats get wet.......
