the wet carpet is confined to the bottom of the rear storage compartment where the amp and phone wiring harness it zip-tied.

Sure. Could be. But as I mentioned a few posts up, I actually had multiple issues. Tough to track down, but eventually I just got everything completely dry on the inside and then used a bright light to watch carefully for water to first appear while spraying water in various places on the outside. The Silicone caulk solution on any of the doubtful interfaces sure solved things for me.
Sunroof drains (both at the sunroof itself and at the top of the hatch area), lights, everything inside the rear hatch (bump stops, etc.). Assume it could be anything.
When I was first looking, I too saw many reports of the lights being leak sources. But mine were fine.
