I thought the group had seen a few causes for water in the
trunk. Failed tail-light gaskets (all of them!) is just one
and I thought manifested more obviously with water in the
lamp assembly.
I had massive water buildup in the taillights in 2003. I
can't remember if the trunk was also getting wet. I
disassembled all assemblies, cleaned the old gaskets, and
applied appropriate caulking. No problems since, and I've
driven through many bad rainstorms.
