Default water in escorts tailgate

hi people i know its a common problem but its a 1985 escort rs turbo, there is a tad or rust on the underside but nothing serious


but after rain etc when i lift the tailgate water comes out and you can here it sloshing around inside, were not talking bucket fulls but maybe a half cup full

will i have to take off the boot spoiler and silicone the mounts?
