So, have you checked the rear cargo compartment only to find it soaking wet? I did. And after much searching I found the solution for me to be a tiny hole in the rear passenger wheel well where the 2 metals meet.
To fix this problem I removed these 2 pieces..

Then, all you need to do is shine a light underneath the back passenger wheel well at an angling up twoards the lift gate. If you see the light shining through, Throw a small bead of caulk in to fill and then smooth over. Replace the 2 pieces above carefully not to break any clips and your good to go. I also checked the same space on the drivers side only to see that it has no hole and was completely dry.
This has solved my water issue and hopefully yours. If not, the next direction I can push you in would be the rack bolts under the headliner. Tighten and seal with a caulk or silicone type. I would not advise letting this go as the carpet in the rear will mold and STINK to high heavens!
