Rust and moisture in trunk
Hello
My trunk lining, spare wheel cover and the roof of the trunk is wet. There was a puddle in my spare wheel well and it rusted through. I checked all weather stripping and didn't find any weak points or leaks. Are there any leaky points in b5 sedan?

Drain tubes are on each side that run down the C pillar and out into the wheel well. Could be clogged or disconnected.
Also, your tail light gaskets could have dried out/shrunk letting water into the trunk.
Try climbing into the trunk with a flashlight while someone douses your car with a hose.

Possible the roof of your trunk is wet due to condensation with all the moisture building up in wheel well.
