Water in Trunk. Not the trunk vent
#11
Update:
Seems to be coming from the Driver's side. Tail light gasket, trunk vent, soft top drains have all been double and triple checked and are clean. It looks like it's leaking onto the floor of the trunk then dripping down into the trunk well.

Have you also checked the fuel filler neck gasket? Not sure it would leak inside but it is one more place that holds water at bay with a gasket/grommet.

Did you ever try taking out the interior pieces of the trunk and spraying the car down with water like I suggested earlier?

I am in a similar boat with my 08' with 150k. The trunk seal was replaced and top drains are not the source of my problem. For my car it appears to be a seam that's leaking. I'll try to take a picture later. If you open your trunk lid there is a gutter that runs around 3 sides of the trunk between the trunk seal and the sheet metal. In the back left corner of the gutter there is seam and when I ran water over this I found that inside the trunk it is wet underneath there on the ceiling of the trunk. It was wet on the left and not the right. So I put some silicon grease to confirm and my trunk doesn't fill with water anymore. I will eventually use silicon sealer there.
Maybe that's your problem too? Maybe yours is related to the hard top mounting holes?
