Water in tailgate

[Cbatoday]

With all the rain over the last week I noticed a whooshing sound od water inside the tailgate just below the glass around the number plate lamp area.

Took it to dealer and he agreed its a water sound and they have booked it in for next Fri to explore

Anyone else had this and wondered if there's  recall

 Not all problems have recalls, usually recalls are used for safety related issues. Likely if it becomes common dealers will be notified to check it out at service time.

Usually water can go through all doors as normal occurrence in heavy rain or after a car wash and there are some little square holes for drainage all around the edges from the inside. This arrears inside the doors are filled with some sort of rust treatment like wax that melts and leaven nasty sticky marks on when the car is new, easily seen particularly on white cars. This is also to be considered when adding any sound deadening insulation inside as if it’s fit incorrectly can withhold moisture and accelerate rusting process. 👍

Took the car to the dealers today to find the cause of the water in the tailgate. Was not the fault of Toyota but the people who wrapped the car.

Behind the number plate is a drain hole for the upper part of the tailgate which they had covered up

The dealers cut the wrap to expose the drain hole so all good

As you can see in the pics the red car has the wrap with the hole covered and the grey car with it exposed

Thought this info may help if other people had their cars wrapped
