besides the usual suspects mentioned here, the top of the shock tower, in my case the passenger side, leaked.
I never had water after the car just sat in the rain.
Driving on wet roads, water is pumped up there under pressure and finds it's way in.
I could detect the faint grit on the inside of the tower.
I unsuccessfully sealed with some blue goop (PVC?) but my indy got it done when replacing rear sprngs / shocks - nice to have a trunk that is dry.
