When I wash my car (4 times in 1.5 months), the rear boot when raised pours out water from the sides. It dosn't seem to go any farther but if I didn't raise the boot, that water would sit there. I don't think this happens to my Honda or SUV. Seems like a lot of water. Is this normal old wise ones.

Thanks

 

normal---my 04 had the same issue. Every car has a spot or 2 that is a PIA when washing. I raise the tailgate and wipe the XS out of the gutters before finishing the drying process. Note--it also drips a bit from under license plate.

Mine is as dirty right now as pre-delivery. Rained every day here for last 8 days...hate it.

 

Normal.
Whats not normal is only washing a MINI 4 times in 6 weeks.

 

Exactly. Slacker!

 

normal, I have it...
now, washing 4x times in 1.5 months=

 

Must be in Washington state. Why wash your car from Sept to May? You've got "liquid sunshine"!

 

Come on now, you guys must have to much time on your hands. Besides, when I do wash I am so tired it takes me a couple of days to recover. Remember, I'm the one that used a whole bottle of hydro the first time I washed the little bugger. Love the car.

 

, I think I went through half the bottle of hydro the first time....
Next time I need to pick up a gallon...
