Soneone will get chewed put for this

Was car browsing with my girlfriend tonight and noticed something that looked odd. The back hatch was completely left open on a 70k Denali. If that isn't bad enough, we just got tons of rain this weekend! The back didn't look flooded but water did get in and I'm sure mildew will set in. How would you like to be the one buying that car not knowing you just dropped $70k on a vehicle that had been rained in.

I'm sure an air freshener and a small price reduction will make it all OK!!

I'd be shocked if they even mentioned it to a potential customer much less knocked off any on the price because of it. Bet you anything they'll sell it as if nothing ever happened and the customer won't be none the wiser.

Maybe that "new car smell" with kill all the mildew.
Which are really volatile organic compounds (VOCs). "It's these VOCs that produce new car smell, though some of them produce no odor at all. Some of these volatile chemicals, like ethyl benzene and formaldehyde, are also found in paints and glues, and they can cause problems like dizziness, headache, allergies or even cancer when inhaled in large enough quantities or for long enough periods of time. Some people have compared inhaling new car smell to glue sniffing or even sick-building syndrome.

That has to be one of the smallest back hatch openings I've ever seen.

It is the back window that is open, not the hatch (aka; tailgate, liftgate).

For sure, but look at the size of the glass closure compared to the hole it is covering. Also something else weird, it looks like it has another piece of sheet metal on top of the glass so a 2 piece rear window? Most SUV's just have a solid piece of glass that raises up for the window opening (when they have one).

Maybe the dealer did it so you won't notice the moon roof leaking
