Water Dripping Into Trunk?

After a fresh rain and there's water on the car, if I open my trunk lid up I get water dripping into the trunk from the trunk lid. I originally thought it was a bad channeling design, but looks like water accumulated behind the brake light and spilled into the trunk when it gets tilted up.

Does this happen to everyone else too?

Same Here. Esp. After I Wash The Car. I Usually Just Open The Trunk And The Hood And Wipe Off The Water.

When I wash the car and open the trunk, a bit drips in from the trunk lid, but no biggie.

Even more than the drips is the ponds of water that accumulate on both sides of the trunk opening, if you wash the car while it sits on a downward slope.

Yup. Noticed that effect after washing the car. Bad design.

We've been getting a lot of rain in Houston lately and it's really annoying. I thought it might have been just my car and I can take it in for them to fix, but looks to be a design problem. Sucks.
