    Drives me crazy! after a heavy rain my trunk lid fills with rain water and when I open it, water pours out of what I guess would be the courtesy light switch. I can't imagine how it gets in there

    Clear your sunroof drains. You can use a long piece of weed whacker wire and run it all the way through each of the four drains.

    It's a cabriolet and the drains appear clear. No water in the back floor where it would normally appear if the roof well drains are plugged

    I bet it’s getting in around the third brake light.

    That's an interesting possibility

    It’s pretty much the only way as gravity keeps water from getting in through the other sealed opening.
