Back window leak

We just got a bunch of rain in San Diego and my cousin was sitting in the back seat of my scab when she felt water on her shoulder on the passenger side back window. I did some investigating today to find it not coming through the window but dripping off the back of the headliner. Has anybody had this problem? Is it the third brake light or the back window seal? If it is any recommendations on a fix?

In most instances I've seen it was the 3rd brake light.

Yep. Bad seal around the 3rd brake light. Unscrew it and apply a nice bead of silicone then reinstall.
