Default Water in Trunk

I have a puddle of water in my trunk that seems to be coming in from around the taillights. The water isn't going in the taillights, just heading in the trunk. The gaskets around the lights look okay, I'm not sure what else I can do to stop this. Has anyone else had this problem?

the water in ur trunk is from the sunroof drain tubes in your trunk. take off the panels in ur trunk and u will see a tube on each side that comes out near your back quarterpanel... it probably just got a little loose or came out and dumps the water in ur trunk...

I've seen this many times. It always ends up being the tailight gasket. As for the sunroof drain tubes, I've never seen a case of them causing a leak.
