help!

i just pulled the cover off my spare tire well and found a freaking lake in there

theres prob about a gallon of water in there...and everythings wet, the tire, the carpet below the tire, all my tools

i keep my cars paperwork in the little cubby on top of the plastic cover and in front of the trunk compartment...and it was all wet, as was the plastic cover to the wheel well

is this a really bad thing? could it get into the electronics of the car and possibly damage the IMA system?

also, is there a way to get it out besides by hand? and can i fix it?

HELP....PLEASE

ok...so i just shoveled it all out w/ a cup and a bucket

it was only about a quart...but still...way more water than i ever want to see in my trunk

anyone able to offer any words of advice here?

I can't recall anyone having a similar problem, myself included. If the carpet in the rear is dry I would suspect water is coming in from below, possibly while driving in heavy rain or through standing water?

hmmm...that is a possibility, as the roads around me got flooded a couple of weeks ago during the huge storm we had up here, and i was forced to drive through some deep water

Anyone found a resolution. I found an 1/8 of a cup of water back there.
