Spent 4 hours hunting a water leak in a trunk only to find the real culprit under the rear glass

Last month a 2016 Camry came in with a soaked spare tire well and I pressure tested the trunk seals, tail lights, and body seams for 4 hours with no luck. Turned out the butyl bead under the rear window molding had dried out and was letting water run down the inside of the C pillar. How do you all test glass seals without pulling the whole window?
