It could be the weather stripping on the hatch. My car does the same thing in heavy rain.

When I bought my eclipse it had a nice zide dent on the rear quater panel righ tbelow the gas tank. The dent caused the seam in the metal to leak water into the trunk. When you open the lid for the gas tank there is a seam that goes all the way around the inside by the gas cap. The factory seals is with some clear stuff and if that is damaged you will leak water into your trunk.
