[W126 Coupe] Water leak into trunk

[Dean Slone]

My '81 got rusty under the right tail light and I found that the water was getting in around the tail light assembly.  It rusted from the inside out.  

Newspaper is a good telegrapher of wet.  You might tape some just under the lights and see if it gets wet.  You might also do the same under the antenna.  

Finding the source of the water is most of the battle.

  My '86 SEC is tight and solid and there doesn't appear to be any place that water is getting into the trunk. (No rust issues with rear window area or any I can see with trunk lid or rubber seal.) It's wet/damp on the left/driver's side well only and nothing else seems to be wet. It dries and then comes back. Is there something that drains into that area (sunroof, etc.) or something any of you know of that's causing it??
