it could still be one of your taillight gaskets. When they leak, sometimes
it's just in a small area, such as near the "seam" of the quarter panel/rear
panel. I'd change them if they haven't been already. Trunk seal can be a
culprit too, and it's easy to change.
If your power antenna's drain isn't clear and run correctly, that can also
be a source. When the antenna is extended, the water enters the telescopic
sections and near the base, I believe, and there is a provision on factory
and aftermarket power antennas (antennae?) for a drain hose, which needs to
be routed through the grommet in the bottom of that "well" in the left-hand
corner of your trunk.
