take some silicone stuffs and go around the tail lights and anything else in the trunk area (spoiler, lights, plate, etc.)

Significant Technical Input
There is a plate on each side, below the tailights that isn't sealed well. Grab some silicone and seal them properly, you shouldn't have any more problems.

Mine leaked through the taillights. I removed them, put silicone between the gasket and the assembly then grease between the gasket and the body. Cured both the taillight moisture and the trunk water.
