Driving in crazy rain with top down...
Well So the weather here in WA has been crazy!!! sunny, rainy , sunny rainy every hour it changes!!! When it rains it just pours like crazy. So I was on the freeway and it just started down pouring and my top was down. I'm going about 70 with windows rolled down and water starts getting in a lil from the sides. I roll windows up and then water really starts to drip since the water is dripping from the top of the window. So even though you don't get totally wet you still get a lil wet. My left arm was completely soaked and the right side seat areas where really wet. This was of course in just a down pour the hardest rain where the drops sounded like rocks hitting your windshield.....Haha everyone thought I was crazy probably 
I of course got home got all my interior detailing items when the sun came back out and detailed the inside interior where all the rain spots hit

This happened to me just last weak in Irvine. I was driving at night and I couldn't see that there were rain clouds and it just started pouring. I was on the freeway going about 75MPH. The funny thing is, I could barely feel any water coming in. Actually, there was hardly any water coming in. I pulled off the freeway and quickly put the top up only to find a few drops here and there inside the cabin. I think if you are going fast enough, you can stay relatively dry top down during a downpour.
