760 in the tropics - Water seeping through the tail lights 700 1988

Spring is arriving to Florida - Today it rained for several hours at volumes & pressures generally found only at car washes. As a result, I discovered that water had worked its way into my trunk. It appears that the water came through the tail lamps and ran down into the trunk floor into the pans behind the wheel wells. Am I missing some kind of a gasket from behind the tail lights or is this a "feature"?

I can see how an engineer in Sweden would not think of the vehicle being exposed to vertical blast of water for hours and hours. I just sold my Dodge Dart and I thought I had suffered enough already with the water leaks :-)
