Trunk Lid Lock problem #1

I purchased 1996 Honda Civic ex coupe from dealer on Dec 23, 2004 car was checked by dealership before releasing I am very pleased with vehicle has run wonderfully but am having trouble with trunk. Every time it rains the trunk gets soaked, cannot find entrance spot, there is mold on tire cover making me think this has been a problem before. It appears that dealer has put a new seal around trunk b/c ruber looks brand new, any suggestions???thank you.
