What causes water accumulation in the trunk latch groove of the Lavida Plus?

[Orville]

There are several possible reasons: one is a clogged drainage hole, and the other is an improperly sealed or loosely closed trunk lid. It is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for a specific diagnosis. Trunk Drainage Hole: The trunk drainage hole is typically located beneath the spare tire in the trunk and is sealed with a rubber plug. The drainage hole prevents rainwater from entering the vehicle during rainy conditions and allows any internal liquids to drain out. Improperly Sealed or Loosely Closed Trunk Lid: Tighten the two trunk cushion screws by one rotation to resolve the issue, but avoid over-tightening to prevent excessive pressure. You can also inspect the trunk seal strip—check if the compression mark at the bottom is significantly lighter compared to the other sides.
