Poor trunk lid design on coupe?

Yep. It's not the rain that is coming in, it's the puddles that are left on top of the car after the rain has passed. Opening the door seems to disturb the water enough to allow it to run downhill and there are no diversion channels that stop it from running right into the open door.
Question for those that did a ceramic treatment. Does the top of the car shed water during rain so that nothing puddles up on top after the rain is over? I'm wondering if that might solve the problem or just make it worse by allowing the puddles to run with less shaking.

Yep, I get it all the time too. I have found that if you open the trunk slowly so the water runs off the trunk lid slower then there is not as much water that jumps over the seal and into the trunk.

I just bought an A5 and when I open the trunk lid water skips right over the rubber at the base of the rear window. I've thought about taking it off but wanted to see if anyone else has done that and did that help. Thanks.
