My trunk has been leaking for some time now and I finally got around to searching for it (them).
I started by stripping everything out of the trunk, dried up all moisture as best I could, then sprinkled baby powder everywhere I could before the next rain.
I found that some moisture was coming in behind the passenger outside tail light where the metal was bent at the factory and veeeerry thin and rusted through slightly. I removed the taillight, working at dark with a flashlight on the inside of the trunk shining through where I could see every little hole. I plugged and glazed these really small holes with a high-temp flexible silicon and reinstalled the taillight. Fixed hopefully.
The interesting leak was the one pictured below, the pics explain where and how I fixed it so:
Found a huge gap, evidence of body damage in the past, rivets were popped loose. Wire brushed and cleaned dry then:
So the above one should be fixed, now I have one more to worry about that I haven't tracked the source of yet, any help is appreciated:
