Talking Water in trunk
Whenever I use a car wash I have water accumulating in trunk lid, causing Trunk Lid Open warning to flash? Any suggestions? Water eventually empties on to rear bumper.

Thank you for responding, do you mean the rubber on the upper trunk lid? I will check for blockage. I also noticed on the bottom left there seems to be a drip hole that for some reason was taped off.
