Very broken english for an American...
I would think there are two ways for this to happen
One, someone spilled something directly in it
Two, if you have a broken back window on the top, water can leak in (My friend with an '00 had his plastic window break and a pool of water drained into the trunk when it rained.
If it were me, I would remove the carpet and make sure there isn't a large amount of water at the bottom of the trunk, when I say a pool of water, a huge amount of it was under the carpet.

I will bet you $1 that it's leaking in behind the tail lamps.

What year is the car?

Be sure to get the water out from under the bottom of the trunk liner as well as taking care of the source of the leak.

You bring shame to your family! J/K, I'm pretty lazy myself.

It's not uncommon to get water in the trunk for one reason or another. The other common cause is clogged drains from the convertible gutter. Water overflows the gutters and ends up in the bottom of the trunk.

Read throught this thread...
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry9905887

It shows how to re-seal the vent on page 1, and I added some pictures on the 3rd page showing how to clear the drains.

WIN.

Remove the rear bumper and you will see this. Its located to the left of where the plate number would be, just above the bumper support.

Remove it, clean it, silicone around it, install and let dry.
