On my car I had problems with water getting in through the seam where the various inner body panels were bonded right behind the passenger door. If you take the fenders off you will see several panels that come together right below where the rear deck gutter drains. The water was leaking in there, under the rear speaker housing and across the fiberglass floor of the trunk, underneath the carpeting, and into the rear compartments. You may want to pull all the carpeting out of the back of the car and hose the outside down really well and see where the water is coming from.
