Weird water in trunk problem!!

Weird water in trunk problem!!
Today I opened my trunk and noticed that the cover is wet.....so I remove it as water dripped out and found out the 'wood' cover is soaked and bent. I lift that up and viola, the spare tire is IN water....the whole spare tire compartment is fill with water and signs of rust all around.
My only guess is that it's rain water as it rain for a week straight, but the question is, HOW it got inside....
Gonna make an appointment with the dealer, but I like to ask if anyone have a similar problem....or knows what's going on.
Thanks!

Get in the trunk and ask someone to water your trunk area take out floor mat donut and stuff. also don't forget to remove all the inside panels arround trunk lock. I had the same problem was pissed off of drying the trunk after every rain. But problem was easely fixible (in my case). Ayte after u found out which side was leaking just use some jbkwik or silicone. This kind of leaks are caused by small almost invisible cracks beetween metal panels. Especcialy if your car had rear damage. Good luck.
P.S. had the same problem on my 4th gen, fixed it the same way.
PM me for any Q.

I had the same problem....No clue what happened. After winter, I was washing my car about mid-april, take out spear and see that its swimming. I have graden hosed and no clue, doesnt look like any leaks. Might be the plug on bottom that was loose.
