    How is your trunk and tail light gaskets?

    Also, check your antenna housing. Could be cracked or something.

      In my case, a hole that's rusted through between the jack compartment and the wheel well.

          mine was a loose taillight, that seems to be the most common cause

            Sunroof drain, sunroof seal, rear window seal, antenna grommet, tail light gasket, trunk brake light if you have one, trunk seal.

              Also check the 3 grommets that hold the exterior c-pillars in place. Mine was leaking like crazy from there after the car was repainted. The body shop didn't put new ones in there when reattaching the pillar

              Same w the gasket around the vent that sits on either side behind the rear side marker lights

                Mine leaked from where the upper left corner of the rear window seal had shrunken and pulled away. I sealed it with some RTV.

                  I've got the same exact problem, my left rear window isn't sealing so half of the recent downpour at my house went in that jack compartment.
