Does water collect under your spoiler?

It seems like every time I pop my trunk, water runs down from underneath my spoiler, even if it hasn't rained in a day or so. This has me concerned about developing rust around the trunk. Anyone else have this problem?

low. It's like it's hiding underneath the spoiler 'legs'...whenever I open the trunk so it's vertical, water streams down towards the trunk (it stays on the outside of the weather stripping though, so it doesn't get in my trunk).

I totally know what you mean. That happens to me all the time and it sucks cause I constantly have to be drying the back end.
