That's good to hear. To prevent it happening again try fitting a water shedder - Part number EOT500030.

Shedder already installed

Look for a bung/stopper in the bottom of the spare tyre well as there is a drain hole there which will let water in from below if not closed with a bung.

umibat, where is the water coming in from, probably you need to replace/repair the tailgate seal.

I reckon the best way would be to reposition everything in the cubby. Helps if you don't have a sub woofer!

You would need @ 3 inches of water in your spare wheel well before it started to affect the stuff in your cubby. Unlikely that water will make its way in through the bung in the bottom. In fact I reversed my bung and put a hole in it to allow for drainage, even though my wheel well has been dry as a bone for years. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember Wink
