The thin gaskets around the taillights is the usual culprit behind the mysterious water retention. Also you may want to inspect the mouldings around the trunklid.

Mine leaked around the rear window seal and the automatic antena.

I ended up sealing around the antena and rear window with caulk. I also ended up drilling small holes in the bottom of the trunk to drain the water (also edged with caulk to prevent rust). We eventually figured out the chasis was out of alignment. After I got in an accident the body shop fixed that.
