We should all appreciate the engineering here. It took the Honda boffins years to direct that jet of water straight at the driver's groin.

Yeah I get the constant stream either with the hardtop on or the soft top up ... I'm either going to have to buy some waterproof trousers or quit smoking.

Getting a wet crotch was one of the reasons I put the tintop back on, the soft top used to ambush me and dump tons of the stuff on me or the seat, especially if I was in a hurry to get in the car because it was peeing down - result wet arse or back whilst mopping up spill. With the tintop the problem never happens, and I never have to open the window as the aircon clears the fogged up windoes nicely.

I know that the air con clears the windows but some of these mornings are getting quiet cool...

So do we just have to make do with a constant flow of water and wetness....????

They all do that sir!

Personally I don't find it a problem. But then I rarely drive mine in the wet.
