4. Quarter panel moulding fasteners - if they go bad they can allow moisture inside. There is a maybe 8 or 10mm bolt at the corner of the quarter panel holding this trim piece to the car.
5. Tail light seals and seals under tail light
6. Fuel filler neck seal - allows water into trunk if not sealing properly.
7. Trunk lid "stops" on either side/rear corner of trunk lid
If water gets in and pools, when ambient temps go up the water collects on the inner surface of trunk lid.

Thanks for the tips. They are all thoughtful and useful. I have inspected all the seals, and have placed a little extra silicone sealant around the seals just to make sure. I will also climb in the trunk with a flashlight while the kids use the garden hose and see if I can detect any leaks.
Thanks you guys and I will update when possible.
