Default Trunk Leak

I know this is a common problem, but I for some reason I can't find the source of the leak. I've already silicone sealed the air vent in the trunk. After searching old threads, I sort of have an idea of where to look. It seems that the water is leaking from the passenger side. Also, can someone show me a pic of where the drain and rain rail is located. I heard that at times the drain can get clogged. Maybe that's the problem. Thanks for the help guys

If by rail drain,,, you mean the drain for the rear of the top,,, it channels into the two plastic pieces that have the black, "brushes" on them,, on either side,, directly rear of the doors,, they're funnel shaped,, and have a drain tube in the bottom of them,, that sends the water through the inside of the body,, to underneith, right behind the doors,, you might be able to straighten out a coathanger, and route it out,,, or use something like an old time speedo cable insert,, and run it in a battery drill to clear them,,,

Yeah, i found out where it drains. Doesn't seem like mine is clogged. I'm going to continue checking tomorrow when the sun's out. Where are other possible areas for a leak?

it will be clogged i thougth the same thing of mine , in the end got a coat hanger , and started to ' prod ' around between the brissles ( while it was filled with water ) untill it was good and clear - problem is it fills up and overflows, this dribbles down the boot floor ...and in to the hole at the bottom
