Default 2014 Trunk issue: water

Hi Guys,

This is the first car I have ever owned when I open the trunk on a day it has rained all the water is channeled along the trunk lid into the inside of the trunk? This seems like a very poor way to design a trunk. Is this an issue with everyone?

I haven't put my car through rain yet. But I doubt it would be channeled into the trunk. Any body work done in the past?.

Posted to another thread, may help you: My '15 would drip water (passenger side) into the trunk whenever the lid was opened if it had rained. I had the dealer fix it at my 5k service. All OK now. Here is the service record...might be something for you to check also.
