Usually, the water flows down the window and along the inside "lip" between the trunk opening and the body. Is there something deflecting this? Might want to open trunk and run a water hose over the roof of the car to see where the water comes from. Of course, if it is a 2003, then you will have to fight GM. Isn't it a shame that you have to fight the dealer while still under warranty?

Does it get wet sitting outside on a rainy day or only when driven on a rainy day? This will tell you whether the water is dripping down or being thrown up from wheel splash. I've heard of leaks caused by missing unibody welds.
