Also sometimes there is water sitting around where the tailgate locks onto the body of the car. Is this normal? I am not sure if this water runs in when I open the tailgate?ThanksXRT330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do all ways make sure I open both the glass and tailgate to chamious every time I wash it. and my car lives in a lockup garage when not in use.My tip is regular wash and chamious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
