Default Water in spoiler?

Has anybody noticed if they get water in the spoiler or perhaps under the spoiler and truck lid? (I've got the same spoiler that a lot of us purchased from Spoiler Solutions)

I put silicone on the spoiler (around the holes) where it was screwed to trunk, and also around the head of the screw before screwing them into the spoiler from the inside of the truck. This was all in addition to the foam gasket around the edge of the spoiler.

My best guess is that it's water inside the spoiler, not water trapped between spoiler and truck lid from the sounds that I'm hearing. If I open the truck slowly, I don't hear anything. I need to have it closed, and open it very fast and then I can hear a "sloshing" sound. I also seem to be able to hear it better if the trunk has been down for a while and the water has had a bit of time to drain down.

I haven't ever noticed this before, but it rained a lot here in LA last weekend. It's been a few days since then and dry here since then, and I am still hearing it.

Seems to me that it will slowly evaporate out but it has been 4 days since the rain. Seems that if it got inside, it will slowly find it's way back out again.....

Anybody have any thoughts?
