HI -

Check to determine if the water comes in around the taillight unit or, more likely, it is getting into a lamp unit and then running into the trunk through the bulb holder.

If it's the latter, a new gasket will be futile.

Remove each bulb holder and look for dirt, dust, mud, etc., inside the lamp unit. Post back with what you find.

Good Luck,

Bob

PS You can re-use a carefully-removed gasket by lightly coating each side with DAP bathroom sealer when you put it back on. BTDT
