Check your trunk and tail light seals, that is most likely where its comming from. It is a common neon problem.

get some clear silicone and fill the gaps above and around the tail lights, that should solve your problem.

Find out where its comming from, It could be the tail lights or the trunk seal. If its the tail lights, there is a foam gasket between the lights and the car, either get new gaskets, or use the expandable foam insulation that they sell at home depot in a can. If its the trunk just order a new seal.
