Default trunk leaking

I noticed I had some water in my trunk floor after washing last week. I had a lot more this morning after a heavy rain all night. Has anyone else had this issue If so, what was fix? I'm still under warranty but will save myself a trip if it's an easy fix. I have a 2016.

thanks

Personally, I would head to dealer. Could variously be a trunk gasket seal problem (probably visually obvious but hardly ever comes up unless you tore it); disconnected or blocked sunroof drain; leaking around a tail light or where the license plate screws in, etc. You have the electronics sandwiched in the trunk/back seat bulkhead area, and main battery in bottom of spare tire well, so you want whole area dry and water tight for those reasons too.
