Default Water Leaking Issue

Im not fortunate enough to have a garage, and I don't use a car cover since my car is a daily driver, but my problem is when it rains the water seems to pile up on the trunk, and when I need to open it, all the water leaks into the back. I thought I saw something that was made to redirect the water, does anyone know what Im talking about?

Thanks,
Robert

MY '02 is a vert and I have a similar problem if I open the trunk quickly. I have found that if I lift the trunk lid slightly and slowly raise it, most of the water will run off before it starts dripping into the trunk.
I do however keep mine in a garage unless I'm on a trip. I haven't ever had a C5 coupe so I don't know whether this technique would help you but you might try it.

I have a coupe and the same thing happens to me after I wash it (even after I dry it). I guess the water just collects in there somehow.
