I found my trunk leak !!!
I was very frustrated and never really looked very seriously for it. I climbed in the trunk w/ a flashlight and my FIL took the hose to the trunk.
It turned out to be the rear tail light. Two of the three plastic bosses that screws fasten to were broken. Water would roll down the channel under the tail light and in the holes since the gasket wasn't sealing.
I just used some wood screws a little larger than the inside diam of the boss. Did another test and all is great.
I was getting an inch of water in the wheel well every rain.
I don't know if the tail light got bumped or the bosses just cracked out of age.
Just thought I would pass this on.

Other leaks turned into a 10 month nightmare tho
