I wouldn't suspect water getting in would cause this considering everything is pretty well protected. I would lean toward either your battery or alternator.

Agree, compound failure suggests electrical issue. Find the procedure to unlock the secret test function menu in the dash and observe the voltage. Wild fluctuations = bad. Lower than 13.5V while running = bad.

That's a not-so-fun custom feature. Is it perforated to save weight? Looks like a swimming pool for your battery.

Hope you get everything dried out...and that you kept your OEM trunk lid.
