Default Water in trunk area and under backseat bottom cushion after driving in rain, ideas?

I see minor tears on portions of the trunk weather stripping but it doesn't look like it would leak there... What do you guys think? Also where/how much is the weather stripping?

I love buying used cars from a dealer

Most likely the weatherstrip. Get a friend, climb in the trunk, and have them run a water hose along the hatch. You'll find it.

My computer shows the weatherstrip to be around $125 list from GM.

Is it a T-top car? In any event it sounds like water is getting thru the weatherstrip that runs along the roofline, probably getting in around the area at where the window meets the stripping etc...and running down the B-pillar behind your interior molding into the carpet and under those back bucket seats

Probably should sell it and get some thing else already!
