Water draining from trunk
If you look at each side of your rear window, you will notice a hole with a grid over it, this is where the water is caught and sent down a drainpipe on each side of your vehicle.
Sometimes these tubes may be stopped up with debris. The grids will take care of the large stuff (leaves and things) but smaller material may pass through these grids and need to be cleaned out. A high-pressure air hose can usually get the water draining properly again.
Hope this helps,
Mike
