Constant Water from Rear Hatch?

[BeShizz]

Has anybody had this issue after washing your car? Even after a wash I will keep the hatch open and blow it with air for a bit and take the next 10 minutes drying up droplets that fall out of hatch. However, whenever I go back to my car a day or two later and look at the rear there seems to always be water droplets resting on top of taillight and below them on the indentation on the bumper. I have gone as much as 3 weeks after a wash and will still find water there after going out to the garage every other day after the wash, dry it again, and it keeps crying water for about 3 weeks...kinda weird.

Not sure if this is it, but open the hatch and make sure the side seals are in place.
With the hatch closed all you should see in the side seams from above is rubber. If you can see anything else (metal, white plastic) they’ve popped out. The weatherstripping/seals have C-shaped pockets that snap over posts under the C pillars (I think that’s the C pillars?).
Mine come loose all the time. Probably popped out now. Need to stick them in place but haven’t gotten to it yet.

I don't necessarily continue to find water spots as far as 3 weeks out, but I can relate to the frustration on this topic for sure! I'll use an air blower, microfiber towels, and spend more time on the hatch than anywhere else on the car attempting to dry it out. Only to get home and see a trail of water spots from the corner of the windows down the side/back of the car. It loves to pool up along the rubber seal around the "corners" of the rear window, it's a pain in the ass for sure.

Mine were loose when we got the car... the detailer for the dealer probably didn't get them snapped back in firmly. My son noticed it, so we popped them in all the way, and they've stayed in place since.

Does the Z1 oil pan fit with their undershroud (NISMO model, which matters sometimes)? couldn’t find anything on their page about it, but thought I remembered reading here a while ago that both together didn’t fit (pan too deep?)

I've noticed water collects under the rear wing, between the hatch and wing. It is awful after I wash the car or when it rains. Water also pools there.

I don’t know if it is a specific issue with the Nismo wing or not.

I have to open the trunk and leave it raised for it to drain before blowing it out with compressed air. I dont have any problems after that.

I might remove the wing and figure out a way to install a drain channel down the middle of the wing so water stops pooling there.
