Default my s2k rains

i duno if it's just me or everyone else has the same experience. like today, it rained a lot, and when i open my door, the water kept coming down from the roof. it really bothered me because the water may stay in the carpet and eventually it may smell. does anyone have a good solution or i just have to live with it?

Get in and out quick

And I always keep a rag in my car when it rains...just in case.

It's not a good car for smokers in the rain. The roof design makes water pour in onto the door panels and your leg. Meh. I do it anyway, but like Shadow said, I keep a rag in the car.

Don't drive it in the rain.

Depending on where the water is coming from, you might have some getting trapped in the moulding itself... Consider doing a shin-etsu grease treatment on all the rubber mouldings on the top (even if the car is relatively new, like yours).

In any case, I agree with you. You do get wet with the S2000 top. Today was a friggin' sheet of rain at time here in New England, and I got pretty wet getting in and out of my car.

Thank you. The best solutions are sometimes the most obvious.

Chaz -- I think he's not talking about leaks per se, just the fact with a door (or window) open in the rain, it gets in the car. This is just due to the car's geometry.

On the other hand, maybe he just needs to be reminded to put the top up in the rain. HPH

thanks everyone. DrCloud, you have my point. Everytime I come back home in a rainning day, I need to open the window to get into the underground garage. Sometimes getting off the car in the rainning day, the water just keeps coming in from the roof. I guess I'd probably try not to drive in the rainning day (s2k is my daily driver)
