Water in Panamera. Please advise
2011 970 Turbo. When i open my trunk water falls out everywhere. The lights the 2 holes the side. Everywhere. In the last 3 years, ive been to 2 dealerships, 1 replacement Bose system, and 2 replacement PCM units. Thousands of dollars. They always told me they couldn't identify the cause. My most recent dealer repair was a complete replacement of the PCM because the car would randomly shut off all the time while driving. I got my car back, it rained and when i opened the trunk it was full of water. ive run a wire through 2 holes in the trunk that open up to the rear spoiler and its not clogged. Are there any other drain holes in the trunk that would drip into the battery/subwoofer area if clogged? So far my only solution to this problem is 3 beach towels in layers, 1 over battery, 1 over spare tire kit, and one that covers the entire trunk interior. Also in my gas fill area fills up with water everytime it rains... there is a small hole under the cap. Is it safe to declogg that with a wire? love Porsche's but can no longer trust the dealership. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I just went through something not quite as bad with my 2014 PTT. The holes underneath the spoiler were clogged with decaying leaf debris. I had to go in from the bottom of the trunk lid with a wire grabber device and clean it out. I then flushed with water to make sure it was draining properly. I suspect you have a similar problem and the water is backing up and getting into the car via the seal around the window.
I first noticed it when the motor would not lift the rear lid and then when I got it up, water came gushing out up near the top of the lid.

I drained all the water out and placed a fan in the trunk for a couple of hours. Still have the same issues.
i hope I don’t have to replace the ECU..
