After rain or washing the car, if I open the tailgate a considerable amount of water is dispersed from the black trim between the struts and the bottom edge.
This runs into the back of the car.
Anyone else having similar problems?
It seems the water is collecting in the black trim until it is able to escape upon opening the tailgate.

I haven't noticed it either. Only a little water dripping off the lower edge of the tailgate, which is to be expected.
