Default ES330 CPO Question

I have an 06 ES330 (CPO) and it appears that the trunk leaks. The dealer has had my car for three days and cannot figure this out. Apparently this is more than just a bad seal. The water spot appears in various areas around the middle of the trunk after a car wash. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Keith

I have an update...
It appears that the water is coming through the rear window seal. This is a bit concerning. Has anyone dealt with a bad windshield seal? I have always been told only the factory seal is a good one. Other than a pretty hairy wreck, how could a rear windshield get broken??? Thoughts?

For your peace of mind, I'd get a CARFAX report and see if any major accidents were reported for your VIN. Does the back window have Lexus or Toyota etched on it? If not, It's not the original.

Going on day five Friday... still there. No news. Rear windshield leaks, original Lexus etching, no signs of accident. Meanwhile I have been driving a 2010 RX and loving it but I can't wait to get my beloved ES back!

Autocheck is clean...

I guess I am just dealing with a fluke leak. Thanks for the input guys. I will report back once I get it back. Hopefully it will be today or Monday.

Problem solved... Apparently there was some minor work done to one of the quarter panels. When they did, they removed the rear windshield and did not put it back correctly.
Just glad to have it back.
