check the seals, trunk could be miss aligned.


best thing to do is close the trunk, fold down the back seats get in the trunk have some one throw water on the car see where its coming from.

It would take some investigating.. For now, use the shop vac and dry out the car. first check the trunk seals, then pull the rear panels/trunk panels. then check the rear deck and rear glass.

It's also a very good possiblity that the water intrusion is coming from the tail lights. Make sure the gaskets are good.

also check the tail light seals. That's a typical place water travels into after a fender bender.
