Any help would be appreciated. There are a few places I can think of. First is the usual Chevy rear window rust problem. I've seen this on Chevelles and Camaros. The sheetmetal around the rear window allows water to collect and it will rust out. You might be able to see this from the trunk, as the whole panel behind the window rusts as well. My Chevelle has this in the right rear, where any rain would make puddles in the right rear. There are also some body seals. I presently have some issues with the front body seal. I get a drip on my feet when it rains. The water runs down the windshield and under the cowl, then into the body just above the pedals. Another possibility is that the window seals are not sealing. Water might just be leaking around the seal. This would be the easiest to fix. You can check most of these with the hose test. Get in the car with a flashlight and have someone play the hose around the windows to see if you can detect a leak.
