water flooding my trunk

this problem started recently. It's been raining a lot and while i was driving i heard some splashing sounds. So i took a look at my trunk, and the area where we put the spare tire, it's has some water in it and the area where we keep our stock jack is filled with water too. No i dont know where to start or how to fix this, anyone have any suggestions.

Did you pull the plug out of the bottom to let the water out?

I didn't know there was a plug! I was going to suggest drilling a small hole through the chassis to make a drain, if he couldn't make sure everything had functionable weather seals.

It's your tail light seals.

They are foam and are known to degrade.

Also be sure your antenna is tight and properly sealed.

Every car I have gotten had the two drains in the rear channel clogged. I unplugged them by using a wire hanger unwound..
