Water laying in trunk weatherstrip area
I am new. To Gen 6 Camaros
Mine is a convertable, and when I wash it soap and water puddles in the sides of the top of the fenders where the weatherstrip goes when the trunk lid closes I see this when I open the trunk and it goes to the plastic fillers above the lights I can see an issue with rust with no where for the water to go There is what looks like a filled hole or a spot weld in the bottom where the water sits Is this normal? |

I dry all my jambs after every wash... after I blow out all the stray water with an air hose.

This is where the water drains at. I blow mine out so moisture doesn't sit there but it's designed that way.

Every car ever built has places where water collects. Part of normal care is drying these areas. For the greatest success in drying them, invest in a Metro Master Blaster.

The last part of my wash/dry routine is to open the trunk and dry the underside of the lid, drip tray, lights and let the wing stanchions drain. Then I partly open the top to get under the tonneau to the wheel wells, bottom side of tonneau, and all the rubber seals around the top.

You probably don't want to that water gets into your door when you wash your car or it rains. That's why there are drain holes in the bottom of your door and a water barrier sealing the door opening required to assemble the door. Anyone blowing that out
