Question Constant water drips from spoiler stanchion...

I have a 2020 2SS with the stanchion spoiler, after washing the right stanchion seems to hold a little bit of water forever... I can wash it on Sunday and take it for a drive on Tuesday and I'll have some water spotting behind the right stanchion... I snugged up all the bolts on the spoiler thinking maybe that side was a tad loose and letting water in, but the problem exists... I haven't pulled the spoiler off to look at what is going on...

I realize water will hide in places like that but the right stanchion seems to be the worst offender...

Thoughts?

Helpful

I use this which helps a ton for all of the cracks, but for me it's always the right side mirror that drips

A simple air gun attachment for your existing air compressor is a great idea here. Blow out spoiler, mirrors, body seams, lights, grille, etc

Leaving the trunk open while you finish up the rest of the car doesn't help?

Haven't tried that, washed it the other day and didn't have any water drip problems this time...

Be glad you don't have a convertible. I use a leaf blower AND then leave the trunk open while drying door jambs, under the hood, cleaning the interior, etc. Because the FM antenna is located within the spoiler, there are extra places for water to get trapped. It will drip from there for a while. Add to that, the shark fin antenna is also on the trunk. That also drips for a while. I have to lay a couple of microfiber towels across the back of the car to catch all the water dripping.

My shark fin antenna would hold onto water and drip a day or 2 later when the trunk was opened. I took it off (one nut under the felt trunk lid liner) and greased the rubber gasket with dielectric grease. No more drips.
