Water could be ingressing via the vents behind the bumper or via the rear light cluster/s. Both instances are due to seals perishing. Can be cured by applying a sealant to the affected area. See -

The vents behind the bumper have foam seals around them.  When I had a similar problem with an Avensis I removed the vents and used foam draught excluder to 'thicken' the seals and re-fitted them.  Problem solved.

Sealant can be used in place of the perished seals.
