Where are the Drain Holes on the Rear Hatch of a V8V?

[alevine]

I have a 2007 Vantage and when opening the rear hatch when the car is wet a ton of water spills into the trunk. Very annoying. I do not see any drain holes to let water drain from the hatch area. Can someone please advise where they are? Maybe mine are blocked??? Is there a solution for this or is this a "feature" of the car?

Thanks,
Adam

Lower "corners" of the rear screen. One either side.

BUT, your car may have been modded to prevent it, which may mean you have none....the drain holes were generally useless on mine, and a revised seal was put on it which didn't have them. Cured the problem 99% of the time.

Cleaning the rubber seal properly should reveal the holes if you have them.

Thanks for the reply. I do see 2 small holes in the weather-stripping on both sides just below the window. Can you please advise about the revised seal? Did your dealer do this work?

Thanks,

BTW, I tried to fish a small wire through the 2 small holes in the weather-stripping and I do not think it goes anywhere. i.e. It does not drain as far as I can tell. Weird.
