Default Water Leaking into Car

Hi all, I recently noticed water leaking into my trunk. Took everything apart and found that water actually entered from the rear panel near the backseats (please see attached photos). Has anyone have experiences with this issue? Thanks in advance.

Update: I just found where the leak is. Water is entering via rear windshield seal. Any suggestions? Should I go to the dealership?

Yes I took it to my local automotive glass shop. They removed the glass and redid the adhesive. I think my issue was caused by my subwoofer haha.
