For the past 2 days I’ve noticed water in the trunk of my 2007 Camry Le, I’ve replaced the seal around the trunk to no avail. The water still gets in the left side plastic piece and down to where the spare tire sits in my trunk. I plan on putting an amp in soon so any help would definitely help me out!!

All joking aside, either open the trunk for a quick exam when it's raining or crawl in the trunk (with an assistant you trust present, of course) close it and have them hose down the car until you can see the water leaking yourself.

This is not a "small" leak, and until you can determine the source you really can't fix it.

Great idea, I’ll have my little brother help me out. I’ll keep you guys updated

UPDATE: I tested the water to see if any would go into the trunk. None made it into the trunk at all. I removed two plugs from where the spare tire is located which allowed all the water to escape here but I see no entry.

Obviously, it is making it into the trunk.

This is often a very slow process where it takes several hours of rain before whatever it is that builds up builds up enough to trigger the leak.

If you've got someone small enough to get in the trunk on a rainy day after it's been raining for several hours, at least, you're likely going to see where the water is coming from. [Note well: that still can leave finding the source of said water as a challenge, as water follows the path of least resistance and that can be an "interesting" and circuitous path when it comes to a car in particular.]

Never dealt with it on this gen of Camry, but on other non-Toyota vehicles and an 89 Camry, either the taillight seals or the taillights themselves (at the lense to rear housing joint) have leaked. You might need to empty the trunk and remove the carpet, etc. to really see where it's coming from. Cheers!

Check the panel gaps of the trunk lid. The trunk is very flexible and can be moved by jerky pressure. The left side may have a large gap while the right side is nearly touching. Try moving it around until the gaps are even. No tools required.
