Agreed, hatch drain tube. These are common to clog as stated make sure is not plugged up.
 
Drainage tube for the hatch. When you pop the hatch there's two drainage holes in front of the hatch supports. Make sure they're not clogged or kinked. Run some trimmer wire down there.
Oohhh ok that makes since ... they have em on every car? Cuz i personality have not seen this b4
 
Ah hatch drainage tube, that would have been my next guess.
As for retrofitting a sunroof-I've thought about it on one of my other cars. Just not worth the risk. Too much can go wrong. Things like with cutting like the hole being too big. If you really want one, a shop would be the best way to go for it.
 
I don't know if they salt the roads in Oregon, but you may want to hit up a junkyard to replace that cracked splash shield, or slap some mud flaps over the hole (rally armor basics are like $20 shipped). The metal trunk panel where the tube comes out of is very prone to rusting, and it looks like yours is either rusted or painted over rust. It will eat through there and water will start seeping into your trunk under the plastic trim.
