FR-S Rear glass leakage?

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has had this same issue and could possibly give me an answer or confirm my suspicions on this issue. For the past couple weeks whenever we would get rain there would always end up being water in my trunk. I went ahead and replaced both tail light gaskets, and the trunk gasket. That stopped the majority of the leak but now I get water leaking in the inside of the trunk (shown in the video) and it's only on the left / drivers side of the car. Any help is much appreciated!!

Really just asking this before I go ahead and have Safelite replace the glass and seals, since that job is gonna cost roughly $600.

What did you do with your car just before it started leaking?

Has your car been in a rear ender accident?

Bubba says to apply clear silicone all around the outside edges of the rear glass.

Pull the headliner and back seat plastics then sit/lay in the back looking for the point of ingress while having someone run a hose over the car or set up a sprinkler if alone.

Signs point toward the glass, but I’d rather eliminate all other seams and seals before having the glass done.

Thanks for the response HumFRZ, the car is a clean title and has never been in an accident as far as I'm concerned. Also just did some testing with water like Pope said and now the rear venting flaps are leaking too...
