Lunar gas locker door

Our new lunar Quasar 554 appears to have a water feature. The gas locker door fills up with water (I think through the gaps under the hinges). When opened, it drains back out from the top of the door into the gas locker. The dealer has said that this can
be cured by drilling a drain hole in the inner skin at the bottom. I can do this myself, but would prefer to stop the water getting in. Anyone else experienced this and, if so, how did you cure it?

    Just asked my husband, we don't have our 2015 Lunar any more as it was returned to the dealer yesterday.  He's thinks that there were holes in the floor of the gas locker to prevent the problem you have.

    The gas locker does have drain holes, so the water does drain away. I may not have been clear. The locker door is double skinned and it is the space between the two skins that fills when it rains. The bottom of the door is water tight, so the water can only
    drain out through the top of the door when it is open fully.

    Oh goodness that doesn't right at all.  In fact it can't be right or we would have noticed it last weekend after Storm Katie.  To me there is an issue with the moulding.

    That sounds like a defective door and you should demand a replacement.

    For sure it is a door problem, make sure you get a replacement.

    We've got the same problem as Sir Bruin describes, with our 2016 model Quasar 462 which we took delivery of mid June. How did you resolve your problem, Sir Bruin?
