you might need to get a new trunk gasket but where exactly in the trunk is it wet at?

oh, thats what those tubes are.
it only collects in the pass rear corner in that well, just to the right of the spare tire. everywhere else it seems ok.
BTW, i also had some water in my right rear tailight, i just removed it and rinsed out the entire tailight, 20 years of dead flies in there,

the main culprit is usually the most obvious, the antenna seal
