driving with the top down in the rain...

you'll have to completely reverse the windshield wiper motion so that it wipes to the passenger side instead of the driver side.
whats happening is that all the water on the windshield is wiped to the left of the windshield. at speed the wind pushes it up along the left side of the windshield to the top. at the top it has nowhere else to go so it drips down making you look like you peed ur pants.

How do you guys drive in the rain? What if you're at a stop light and rain starts coming in the cabin? I don't get it.

I'm not in the mood to find all kinds of info about it, but google it.

It's called Aquapel. Produced by Pittsburgh Plate Glass, and it's an incredible product. It's literally the same stuff used by race teams in classes without wipers, more of a product that gets applied by a saturated sponge, allowed to set, then buffed off like a wax.
I used to have this stuff on all my cars and my parents' cars in the past because it actually fills in all those little specs that show up over time because of dust and gravel on roads that we don't notice. You know how you catch the sun on a bad angle and get blinded sometimes by the glare on the glass? It just won't happen anymore.
It makes rain fly off about 5-10x better than rain-x in my experience. You will likely have to find a detail shop that sells it to apply it though, as I haven't seen it for sale in retail environments ever.
