I also get water in thru the cowl/firewall areal. Any tips from
anyone on solving that issue?
My left rear window leaks too. All the f bodies have this problem over
time.

Eric,
There are no drains for the window channel. Debris collects in there
over time and retains water. Rust in that area is common, and since
you now have water in the trunk, the channel has likely rusted
through. If that's what happened, there are stop-gap measures you
can take to keep water out (POR, caulk, etc.), but the only long-
term fix is to braze shut small holes and cut out and replace badly
rusted areas.
Other common leak areas are the tail lamp seals, the license plate
lamp wire grommet and a rear-mount antenna, but the wet areas may
differ with those sources.

Rainwater drains into the trunk. It appears to somehow get there
from the
rear glass, under the trim and rear cowl. Is this supposed to be
this way?
Is there a different drain route? The water has to go somewhere or
it would
just collect under the trim and rust the rear cowl out....
Really tired of water dripping into the trunk...
Thanks
