OP has stated there is water at BOTH sides of the trunk. It is highly
unlikely that both rear sunroof drains would be leaking at the same time.

The plastic cover does not "deteriorate". Its vinyl seals do.
The cover is clipped to the cowl and windshield pinchweld with plastic
fasteners. Several of those fasteners are directly over the interior blower
air intake and can admit water into the blower housing through their holes.
To prevent water leakage, these clips are sealed with clear vinyl sealing
boots, which eventually dry out and split. Once they split, water is free
to drip from the windshield pinchweld directly into the heater blower
intake. It costs about $150 in parts to fix this properly.
The clue to whether the leak is from a rusted cowl or the vinyl boots is
the condition of the upper end of the blower housing where it meets the
cowl, hence my instruction to the OP regarding wetness in that area.
