Default Water draining in trunk when opening

I vaguely remember a thread discussing this it can't find it (edit: lazy lol). So do you guys have water pouring in from off of the trunk lid when you open the trunk after a rainfall? It seems that no matter what speed I open the trunk it still drips into the trunk and all over whatever I have in there.

Yes, so what I did was open it a little and close it again, keep doing that until u get almost no water on the trunk lid.

Same thing with my old camrys.

Hmm might try that. I once forgot I had my computer in my trunk and opened it and the water splashed right down on it. Thank god it survived.

Oh yeah, do not open the trunk all the way after it rained, especially when the car has been sitting for a while.

Same problem here, just have to remember to open the lid slowly when it's wet. Goofy design.
