the boot spoiler is like a reservoir of water when it has been raining. When i open it.. gallons of water pours into the boot :o

I sometimes start up the car and drive a couple cms and do an emergency stop to shake off the water.. is there an easier way?

Yup the drain holes block, mine have to be cleared every year as mine lives outside. Try a hose from underneath.
