It's the trunk gasket no? The water just trickles down there from wherever the leak is.
1: Sunroof drains
2: Taillight gaskets
3: Trunk gasket

it is obviously not 1, or 2. must be 3, as there *is* a chunk missing from the middle of the gasket, just above/near the latch. how can water crawl up under there tho?? strange...

Most likely it is the gasket. If I were you I would pull it and inspect it further because if you've got water collecting underneath the gasket the thin metal lip (which the gasket grabs onto) will rust. Ask me how I know... :???:

The easiest way to find a leak (after it warms up) is to get in the trunk with a flashlight .

Then, have someone you trust (so he'll let you out when you're done) turn a hose on the trunk. The source of the water leak will be instantly obvious.
