I've had this problem for years. If our Echo is out overnight, or driven in the rain, we find things are soaked in the trunk, and there are about two cups of water in the spare tire well.
I've gotten in the trunk with a bright work light, and had Lena spray the hose all over the trunk area. We then switch places, and try some more, but we never get a single drop to come into the trunk.
Visual inspection doesn't show any places where the water might get in.
It doesn't seem to be coming up from below, because the things in the trunk are wet.
A small amount can dribble in if I open the trunk when there is water sitting on it, but just a tablespoon or two.
After this last time, I left the car out in the rain, and no water came in. One guess is that a stick or something gets stuck under the lid, but I think I'd notice that.
Any ideas of how this can happen?
