I'm sure this has come up here before, but didn't find anything in my initial search. Someone point me to an explanation or discussion about what happens when you open your windows, your sun roof after a rain?

It's very annoying. I've learned to drive a ways down the road before opening anything.

 

Let me guess, you get wet????

Yes, a wet car will wet you when you open things up. Was that the answer you were looking for?

You should see what my F-150 truck does after a rain!@#! About 1/2 gallon of water will splash down like a waterfall out of ANY window (including sun roof) you open, and land dead smack in the middle of the drivers seat (aka LAP). I'd swear there is an engineer in Detroit still laughing to this day!!!

 

Yes, you get wet, but not just a little wet.. it's like a pond has formed somewhere and opening the window lets it all in. this has never happened on any other car or SUV I've owned.

The worst was the first time I opened the sunroof after a rain.

I think the gutters on the roof contribute alot to this issue.

 

I doubt there's much you can do :(

 

I have never, in 2 MINI's, had this issue.

 

It must not rain in your part of NJ

At the end of my street, it is a slight downgrade with a right hand turn. After a rain, I need to keep all windows up until I pass that part of the street, as a flood of water comes in the drivers side window. That's just the way it is.

 

yep, i wait until i'm able to go about 50 and blow the water off the roof, lol
i wish i had a tape of the first time it happened, probably be pretty funny

 

i've only had my MCS 4 days, but wouldn't hitting the brakes hard cause most of this water to run out the rain gutters? Just check there are no cars right behind you when you do this.

 

this happens to me in my work van also but haven't had it happen in the MINI yet. of course since i bought it on 8.3 it's only rained 2 times while driving.
