As a general rule, the seal around the trunk lid is the failure here, though on occasion you will find that the real window seal is allowing water to flow into the trunk area. Also common is the seal or gasket between the real light assemblies and the body they fit into.
Inspect the light assemblies first, using a drop light in the trunk and looking around the light assemblies for light between the assemblies and the body.
If you can't locate anything there, then use a blow drier around the entire trunk seal and its mating surface on the trunk lid.
Be sure it is ALL very dry. Apply a LIGHT dusting of talcum powder to the entire seal, close the lid gently (allow the motor to bring it down completely), and flood the area with a garden hose. Wait a few minutes, then open the trunk, and inspect for the wet talc. If there is a failure here, replace the seal, or repair as necessary.
If there is no apparent leak at either the lights or the seal, suspect the real window glass. This repair will most likely require a glazier for repair.
Happy Motoring

I assume you mean "trunk" and not "truck". There is a gasket that runs around trunk lid. some cars have it on trunk itself and some are on car molding. This seal is usually "puffy" and is more like a tube. Check for rips, holes etc init. Check all the way around it as sometimes the water will bead up on top and run down (gravity) to lowest pint. The right fix is a oem gasket, but you could use some silicone 2 or other band aid product if you are in a bind.

One thing to check is the seal around the rear window.
Good luck.
