Every time its been raining, and then the rain goes off, if i put my windows down the water thats sitting on the ridge/roof streams into the car and hits the armrest, door handle, and window controls!! (and occasionally my arm too)

Is this like... a major fault with Bravo's?

Cause it's really friggin' getting on my nerves now. (n)
 
Yes: and every other modern car. They all have this major fault.

Why do you wind your windows down anyway?
 
OK. Less mean.

Modern cars don't have roof sills, so the rain from the roof streams in when the windows are opened.

Sorry.
 
I found this out yesterday - I ended up with a nice swimming pool in the door handle of my Bravo!

Lots of cars have a similar fault - on my Mk1 Octavia if you opened the boot when it had been raining all the water ran off and into the car , right onto the rear speakers!

The solution for the bravo would seem to be to drive quick enough to get most of the water off the roof before opening the window :D
 
Hi what i did was to buy a pair of wind deflectors from the main dealer, they cost about £30 and are very easy to fit and does eliminate the rain from coming in when you have the window slightly open.(y)
