re: "...I also find water seeping through an open body seam just under the tail lights. I'll be sealing that up with silicone today...."

Also consider replacing the taillight's gasket. This is a foam pad (and a better choice than using silicone) that's sandwiched between the taillight and the body panel -- it's supposed to seal that opening (you mentioned, above) against the intrusion of water, and may be the major source of water in your trunk if the "open body seam" is as substantial as you imply.
