Default HELP- my spoiler has been replaced 4 times

Purchased my 2012- 370Z in August 2012. Spoiler seal was broken and under warranty so waited to take it in- water gets trapped under the spoiler and when the trunk is open water comes pouring out of both sides of the spoiler. My car has now been to 2 dealerships had 5 attempts to fix it with 41 days at the dealership. The hatchback has been replaced twice and the spoiler still won't stay sealed. Has anyone else had this problem? I am raising holy-hell with Nissan but am very frustrated with this experience. It must be a design flaw.

Never seen this, when you say they replaced the hatchback you mean the entire rear (the part that includes the glass)?
Also when they do this are they putting on a new rear spoiler & drilling fresh holes?

I haven't heard of any other cars with this specific issue, certainly not enough to call it a design flaw. Have you tried another dealership?

Wow... That's a first...

You need to have Nissan pay for your monthly payment if your car had been in that long too...

What are the lemon laws like in your state? That's a lot of time in the shop for a new car.

Im having a problem when I wash my car or it rains water gets trapped in the doors, after getting wet and the car is dry I roll down the windows you can see water on the glass. Has anyone had this problem?

Once, with my old car, I entered a touchless car wash and I forgot my side window down and I got all sprayed by a waterjet. Why so?
