Lou, sitting inside the trunk (as long as you really trust the guy who closes it on top of you!) with a flashlight is a great way to observe active leakages, while he douses the rear area with a garden hose. I presume that you don't already see water run patterns/streaking around the trunk area? The body panel, at base of the rear window, which has chrome trim installed around it, actually has a very wide and deep channel formed into it, with large mounting-holes cut into the very bottom of the channel, to accept the spring-prongs of that chrome trim. Those un-sealed holes may be where your (or, other peoples' ) trunk leakages may be originating. Back around 1983 (IIRC), at the WPC national meet, in Detroit, a guy with a 57 Dodge (not me) discovered after a large rainstorm, that his car's trunk's side-channels (or, whatever they're called), had filled with accumulated trunk leakage, and, he hadn't had any previous clue that the trunk was even susceptible to leaking!
