Re: water in trunk
This is just a shot, but I had a similar problem a couple years ago. I was rear ended and it didn't appear to have caused any damage. As it turned out, it cracked the sealant in several places and let water in.
A couple more likely possibilities would be: Leakage around the back windshield leaking around the weather stripping. I usually place paper towels around the inside of the trunk and run a hose over it for a bit to try to find where the water is coming in. |

Re: water in trunk
I had this problem too and found the water was coming in behind the tail lights. I removed both tail light assembles and ran a bead of sealing caulk around the sealing surfaces. Nice and dry after that.
