You have a bad seal. It might be at the tail lights, it might be the weather stripping also. Just gotta look around and see.

i just realized the same thing happened to me a couple days ago.
it evaporated in like two days, but i just got under there and cleaned it out anyways because i have dynomat, so i was kinda pissed.
i'm not sure where the sealing is bad, but i'm still looking.

It will leak and run down into your spare tire compartment. The carpet wont necessarily be wet. When you brake/accelerate the water will slosh around and splash into the rear seat.

Keep It Clean
Same think with my car. The spare tire compartment got filled. I got a HUGE sponge and got it out and dried it. My seal is folded at the top of the window. Don't know how to fix it though and not looking to buy another one. Theirs going to be more rian here in LA soon. So might wanna throw one of those blue tarps just until you fix it. That's what imma do lol

Bad taillight seals are a very common problem with our cars. I was getting water under my spare too, changed the tail seals, no more water. Even though the seals that were in there looked OK visually, they weren't doing their job.
Yes, mosquitos breed in pools of water, the warmer the better too.
Unlike the mid atlantic and Cali, the weather's been pretty quiet up here in the Northeast. We haven't had a snowstorm in over a month. It's just been real cold and windier than normal. In fact, the roads have been so clear over the last 3 weeks I've been driving the Teg, it's been great! I usually have it put away and it looks like this:


Or this!
