This question shows up alot. The back glass can leak in a number of places. From the bolts in the top, to where the outer decklid/glass meet, and the bolts in the wing if you have one.
I just added an extra thick bead of silicone under the back of the decklid and that cured the problem from that leak. Then I found a back lid with the urethane(sp) wing at the auto hobby shop on the Navy base in VA and swapped it out. Of course I have to reseal everything but I will touch up the wing first. It all leaks right now.
It has been suggested to have someone run a hose over the decklid at varying points to determine where it is leaking. Start at the bottom and work your way up the window.
