Water under spoiler?

After washing my car and blowing the crap out of all the the cracks with leaf blower, then putting under cover for a few weeks or so. I am still getting water running from under spoiler on first drive?!... WTF?

Make sure the Spoiler bolts are tight to help seal out some of the water.
Then use a compressor to blow that area out.

Theres always those places where water will hide and not move until you start driving. I usually do a quick lap around the block before I head anywhere... pull right back into the garage and do a quick walk around with waterless wash and a microfiber. Doesn't seem to matter how much time I spend with the car dryer, theres always some small amount of water that finds its way out.

Air Force Master Blaster will solve that! Or even the Blaster Sidekick.

Open the trunk and let gravity do the work, I do this after a blowing it dry and then wipe up the drips. This works for me.
