A traditional at least has a "Water ingress Governor", my Sport does anyway above 80mph as it cascades down the inside of the windscreen and around the sidescreens !

All part of the experience and why I keep a jumbo roll of "Udder Wipes" in the rear of the car.

Same on the Aero ..... we take two small towels to do the mop up operation and if it gets to bad we stop for a break and throw the storm cover on until the weather subsides. gloomy

The film clearly illustrates that modern cars are so insular people become detached from reality when driving them. ooo

I hadn't realised you guys had the same experience in the rain - when I have looked at an Aero I have often thought it looks pretty watertight.

Always better than a tintop anyway for real fun.

I'll bet you were your cars are serious money IMO and it is something to be gutted about. Is there a fix at all or are you still at the discovering end of things.

Beautiful car in a spectacular colour.

Incredibly we have now done over 7,500 km and still have not encountered more than a few spots of rain. The only spots of water we have found on the inside comes from the aircon in the right hand foot well and I can't work out exactly where it is entering. The drainage tubes are ok. It only happens after an hour or so.

I am off to view (with the intent to purchase) a convertable at the weekend to experience some real leaking, like the good old days in the Midgets. umbrella
