Default Raining on me!

Quick query but a couple of times since I've had my s and it's rained heavily leaving water standing on the roof, when I've got in, a few seconds after opening the door and before I can close it, it dumps a load of water onto my leg. Is this normal? Never had this problem with an mx5 so can't believe it's beyond the wit of honda to have sorted it or do I just live with it?

yup, unfortunately this happens!
take a small towel with you when it rains so you don't get wet trousers.

I'm sure someone else was complaining about the same thing recently? Not had it myself.
