Default Trunk Rain Drain Gutter Cleaning & Fixing Trunk Panel Flap

So after 13 years, I noticed that the rain and water wasn't draining fast from my rear trunk gutter area. Since this area has all the panel on it, you can't see whats under there. Over the years, leaves and small branches get stuck under the panel.

Also my rear trunk striker flap thing broke, so I had to rig it back with some customizing. I also have a full video on the fix on YouTube.

Ya, every time I wash it I use an air hose to blow the chunks up from the bottom before washing as crap flies everywhere. Seems they could have designed that better to stop ingres.
