I know I need a new top or seal or something ( any advice ) But I don't understand how I'm getting condensation under the trunk lid. When I open the trunk and look up underneath I always have condensation, enough to need a few paper towles to dry it up. I need to get this corrected so as not to damage my audio system. Thanks for the help

Get a friend and go to a do-it-yourself car wash, get him to spray at the back window from different angles while you sit in the back seat and look for leaks. Make sure he doesn't hold the washer too close to the window tho or it will could damage the seal.
