Water leak in trunk door

It rains a lot this past month and every time I open my trunk, I see water running down from the under-side-"pockets" of trunk door (beening the trunk door is almost straight up when opened). It is enough of water to fill 1 or 2 shots glasses. I suspeced that the water is coming in from my spoiler but the 6-7 spoiler fastners have rubber seal on them and are all dry. Also, at the bottom the trunk door, there are 2 small plugged holes and 1 square-opening in the center where the lock is.

A few questions:
1. Am I alone with this problem?
2. Can the spoiler be removed and reattached easily?
3. Where can I find new fastners/seals for the spoiler?
4. Why the water doesn't drain out from the center opening when the door is closed?

It's probably a spoiler leak, not sure if it's an easy fix. as I haven't ever tried.

I had the same problem with water trapped in my spoiler (I could hear it sloshing around) when I first bought my car. The dealer fixed it under warranty and said there was a TSB out for it, which I was able to locate here:

I hope that helps.
