Mk2 sedan trunk leaking

I have a 2005 MK2 sedan, and after it sat in the rain for a few days, I opened the trunk and found that the carpet was soaked with water.

Do you know the common places I should check for bad seals or leaks?

Sealing around back door could be ready for replacement. If there are original windows they are not probable to leak.

It can be replaced only as the whole item, that sealing.

During rain sit on the back seats and check where humidity appear

The back window had a little bit of moisture at the bottom, but no water was coming in. The windows are the same ones that were on the car when it was new, and the door seals are in great condition.

Go to the place where you can wash cars with high pressure water. Get inside the car and look for where the water is coming in. If the trunk is full of water, you should be able to see it.
