Open tailgate = rain water shower on parcel shelf

I've noticed an intermittent minor annoyance. When there is water on the bodywork of my FF, sometimes when I open the tailgate I get a dribble of water falling onto the near side rear edge of the parcel shelf. Aside from leaving a mark once it's dried it doesn't appear to have any long term effect. I think, but am not sure, that it is more likely to happen when parked pointing uphill and/or when the camber has the n/s sitting lower.

Anyone else get this? Any way to overcome it? Range Rover 4.2 SC

Mine does this towards the right hand side of the parcel shelf if it's been raining.

Not really looked for a cure. I just whip the parcel shelf up whilst the tailgate is not fully open.

Not ideal, especially with an ivory interior.....

Open the tailgate half way and let the water drain before opening fully Thumbs Up
