Hi All,

So I've noticed a bit of a recurring issue with my 2013 CGT Speed...

A few times after I have left the car outside in the rain, when I have gone to open the boot I then get a torrent of water running INTO the boot of the car.

What appears to be happening is that there is water that is sitting around the boot lid itself somewhere and when I open the boot this water then slides down the back of the boot lid, hits the rear windscreen and then runs down around the side of the boot seals, and sometimes into the boot if it is been particularly bad weather. It looks as though the water is possibly being held behind the retractable spoiler?

I have two theories:
1) Either this is some monumental design error. In which case I would assume others have experienced this.
2) There is some sort of drainage area which is blocked?

Welcome any thoughts / experience of others.

Cheers!

p.s. the car is garaged generally, so this only occurs when out and about.
