Genesis Trunk Water Leak

Living in the desert I don't have the opportunity to comment or test items such as water leaks but noticed a number of owners did apparently have this problem.

I just wanted to comment that, for the first time last night, my Genny was parked outside on a slight front-to-back incline in a four-hour very heavy downpour (similar to a car wash) and the trunk remained dry as a bone afterward.

I asked Genny's forgiveness this morning and promised it a nice car wash and detail later in the week.

I believe most of the concerns are when we open the trunk while it is wet allowing water to drain inside.

slight aside - Genesis seems to get beat up over the "water gets in my trunk when i open it". i had the same problem with a 94 Camry, a 04 Grand Prix, and a 06 Taurus. Camry was particularly awful. and yes i have that problem with the 11 Genesis, altho if you do a partial open and wait a sec most of the excess water spills off without incident.

It was still raining pretty hard when I opened the trunk lid so I didn't wait or open it slowly. But the rain gutters did their job and the inside was dry. Perhaps the others who experienced this issue had a crimped gasket or the trunk lid was not totally shut. I have noticed that I need a heavy hand to ensure the lid closes securely.
