Default pain in the a** when raining.......

ok i have noticed that when it is raing even if it is a little bit rain just flys in the window onto the seat and side of the door, it is very annoying, and i cant even get rain guards for the car! i like to have the window open just a crack to let fresh air in but i will get soaked if i do!!!!!!!!! does anyone else have this problem????

Just turn on a little fresh-air AC and keep the window up.

Yes it is a bit annoying. I too like to drive with the window's cracked during the rain, but like you said the water just rolls off the windscreen in through the window. In my previous car, I had the same problem but when I turned on the air (positive air pressure in the cabin) the water would usually not get in. This does not seem to be the case with the stook, you still get soaked.

My advice is to drive with the top and windows down, YeloS2000ShowGrl. If you keep it over 30-40 mph no water comes into the cabin at all .

If you don't push the recirculate button, the ventilation system IS bringing in fresh air.

Never had this problem. . . Then again, I don't drive the S in the rain (that's what the Prelude is for) . . .
