actually one model did. u can get an "ek" with a sunroof.
if it got hit in the back id pull all the lining off the trunk and make sure theres no holes in the trunk under it. when i had my ej, **** would ALWAYS get soaked in trhe trunk and i had no i dea why so i stripped the trunk and found the biggest rust hole of my life and right there i knew this car had to go

have you tried running a hose over the car ? or maybe under the car? possible that the wheel is throwing water up through a hole in the fender? sounds unlikely but givin all the other things you've checked and that it was hit before...

it's the tail light seals. you can use window cocking to fix this
when you take the light apart you will see where the seal is flat, ues the cocking on the light and the flattened seal make a beed on the light put the seal on the light and make a beed on the seal where the seal meets the body of the car. let the cocking dry the
then put back on the car
do not do the body of your car with the cocking, let the dry cocking on the back of the old seal act as a new seal.
good luck!

Whoa! Whoa! Let's get out ***** vs. caulks straight!
I know the 2 can be easily confused... (especially when it comes to 'dry c0cking')

he has a "EK" not a EG. all the EK HB that come in to honda are leaking at the lights, the back window is not a two piece like on a EG
