Water Ingress
« on: 03 June 2007, 06:37 »
Hello When opening the rear doors whilst it is raining lots of water drains off the roof into the interior and lands on the back seat or the wee fella's seat.
The only solution i have found is to run my hand across the roof to displace the water prior to opening the door

has everybody with a 5dr experienced this

Happens all the time with my 3 door. Always on the offside. Have to hold the tailgate half open and let it drain off first. Great design :sad:

I think it is an unfortunate fact, of all gutterless roof designs, from all manufacturers!
