see if the rear windshield has the toyota stamp similar to the other windows if not then you know it's been replaced...as for hosing the car with water you will have to do it for a long time to get the water through...this is not going to be pretty but try taping around the windshield with duct tape for a while...and see if you still get water in the trunk...now your into process of elimination

H2O in the trunk
i had the same problem with one of my cars...the water gets in and stays on the passenger side behind the wheel well...and it only happened after i had the rear windshield replaced...other than that i dunno how else the water can get in and stay on one particular area.

Hey,
I have the same problem with water in the spare tirewheel well. If you look carefully there is a rubber stopper that you can pop out at the bottom of the spare wheel well to drain the water out. There are 2 of them one at 12 and one at 6 o'clock.

sunroof drain channels
I think you guys may be on to something with the water coming from the sunroof drain channels. I do not have this problem in my GS, but my car does not have a sunroof. It seems like all of you guys who have the problem have sunroofs as well. Is that true? I know that problems with water inside the car can be caused by a blockage of the sunroof drain channels on many Toyota vehicles including the AE86 (mine does not have the problem and does have a sunroof, but a lot of other AE86 owners have the problem and it's caused by blockages in the channels and corrosion).

water in the trunk
okay here's what i have:
95' geees with s roof = no water leak in the trunk
older toyota without s roof = water leaking in the rear passenger wheel well.
i guess for you guys it may be the s roof drain not doing it's job that's causing the problem.
just my other .02 cents

I had a little water in my wheel well also that i noticed when i was sounddeadening the lexus. All the tubes are not leaking and are not blocked. What i think it may be is that the air in the trunk is warmer than the air outside and that caused condensation to build up in the wheel well.

well it rained again yesterday. my spare tire well is dry except both corners of the bottom on my trunk is wet and there is a puddle of water in each corner. i tried to blow in the drain hose from the sunroof and they seam clear. where the hell is the water coming from. its pissing me off. and its kinda scary to put my sound system in my trunk. also i sprayed my car down with water and when i opened the trunk i didn't see any new trails of water

Jmai,
I have water coming in on the drivers side of the trunk my 1994 GS300 which also has a sunroof. I still haven't found the source of the water yet. I plan to troubleshoot this weekend. If I find anything I will be sure to post it.

When I got to digging around back there, I found that the big, clear tube was out of place (not in its grommet leading outside) so I put it back. The thinner, black tube was also out of place so I secured that. I ownder how they popped out.
