Default water in spare tire compartment

does anyone else have a problem with water accumulating in their spare tire compartment in their trunk after a rain? the rest of the trunk is dry.

No, Is your seal loose and filled with crap at the base of your back window? Also, the area has drains, make sure they are facing rear.

i will inspect that seal more closely. there is a red "stopper" or "plug" in the bottom of the spare tire compartment that i assume is plugging up a drainage hole in the bottom of the compartment. will check to see what happens after next rain/car wash.
