Default this is annoying

so it's been maybe a month since i got my replica nismo spoiler installed. it's great...but the annoying this is everytime it rains or when i wash my car...i think water gets trapped under the spoiler even though theres that protective lining lining the spoiler to prevent that. trouble is...it always leaks down and under the sun it dries and looks ugly. do any of you guys have an idea what i should use to seal it so that no water gets trapped underneath the spoiler and leaks back down?

I get the same thing with my Data Systems wing. I just get a blower and blow the extra water out under the wing. Or you can let the wing section of the car dry out in the sun. And then clean up the excess water and dirt stain when it dries.

Got a wet/dry vac? It does work.
I also tend to put a terry cloth towel in the trouble spots while I am drying the rest of the car. It tends to soak up a lot of water.

Good luck.

The same happens on my Nismo spoiler.. just push the water out using a rag and then dry it however you normally dry it.

Use an air compressor to dry wheels, crack and lining. It works great on dusty computers too! Otherwise carry a bottle of detail spray and a towel after a wash.

same issue here with my nismo wing. typically I just prop open the trunk after I blow dry the exterior. most of the water comes out while I'm hand drying off the rest of the car.
