I have had the problem of water being held up in this compartment every time it has rained for over 2 years now. Problem solved without any maintenance.
I followed this quick-fix as I didn't have time to take apart the rear compartments of my 1997 Honda Del Sol and I didn't want the water to sit for a period of time. I bought similar denture cleaner tablets from Target for about $6 for a pack of 150. I rolled my rear window down, shined my camera light and saw the build-up of water with 20+ years of debris buildup. I dropped about 5 to 6 tablets down the window slit, drove around the block to make turns and parked again. Two drip puddles underneath on the car on both sides (a few inches in front of both rear wheels) started to form. It was slow but I believe the tablets helped. The next morning I saw 2 larger puddles on the garage floor/driveway. I drove around and didn't hear sloshing. I plan to do the through cleaning of that area and removing my interior per previous how-to posts but i found this very helpful. Thanks to whoever thought about the tablets.
Some forums mention it's your gas tank moving around but this sound wasn't happening before for me.

Thanks all
