DuaneT.Turbo Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Im confused? You open your window and rain comes in? I'd assume that because your moving forward the rain is being pushed of the car and coming inside as well as the rainwater coming from the air into the car? Is it raining heavy?

Chris Wilson Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 They all seem to do that, it's just aerodynamics and the sweep of the wiper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Why would you want your window open in the rain? I do think you can buy rain/wind deflectors that might be a little help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Smokers curse! Wind deflectors would probably sort it out, but they're not particularly cheap for what they are, and second hand ones don't come up often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah I found it annoying, especially if you have the window open a tad and put the wipers on to clear the standing water ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a different type of car but my hilux ones still don't really stop the rain from coming in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 My 4th gen Prelude had wind deflectors on it, and even though reasonably unsightly, they worked a treat for those warm rainy days we get during our 'summer'. As for the 'leak' you're getting, just keep your air-con on, but don't let it freeze in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 could be worst, could be a golden shower Through the window, whilst travelling at speed? I'd almost pay to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I know its a different type of car but my hilux ones still don't really stop the rain from coming in Really? We've got them on the Delica and they're brilliant!! Can leave the windows open about 4 inches in any conditions and we're nice and dry. Usually leave them open a bit at work on a hot day if it's going to rain to keep the car cooler as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Work good on our legnum too But yes it's due to the aero and wipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
