Keep looking, you might have to crawl in & have someone douse the car with a hose.

1 - taillight gaskets?
2 - weatherstripping around the trunk?
3 - sunroof drain tubes?

4 - this one's strange but it happened to a friend with collision damage...
There's a channel around the trunk opening, just outside the rubber weatherstrip. It acts like a little raingutter to let water flow down towards the bumper. Where they repaired the sheetmetal, that channel had a hole where the water dripped right thru.

My accord had that problem. The "rain gutter" that blake was talking about was a little rusted in maybe 2 or 3 places, so water would come down from these holes instead of chanelling out and back to the tails. Do you know where the source of the leak is?? that would help

This should really be in the forum for your car model.
