It seems that a very common problem with these cars is the rear tail light rubber gaskets no longer seal properly against the body, and rainwater is then basically channeled into the rear hatch area. Yes, I've removed everything from back there to dry it all out. There is a factory drain plug in the spare tire tub, but yeah, wouldn't you know it... it's not at the lowest point!  Anyway, I'm pretty confident if it ever stops raining here that I'll be able to seal up these tail lights, which will hopefully stop all the leaking. Fortunately, the car does not smell musty.
I've also got a big household dehumidifier here that I want to use in the car, but they don't work very well when the ambient temperature is low. Ice forms on the cooling tubes of the dehumidifier... and then it becomes useless. If it doesn't warm up a bit, I may need to use a small space heater in the car in addition to the dehumidifier.
