Does it rain in Czech?

Have my Occy 2 Elegance Estate for 3 weeks - done 3,000 miles.

Undoubtably an exeptional car - and a quantum leap over my old Occy 1. Though I am not terriby convinced it was worth paying £140 for a Multifunction Steering wheel, that in reality just has radio controls on it.

Yesterday was the first time it has been out in the rain!! I was sceptical about the rains sensing wipers but they work really well.

However - my first complaint to date. Leaving the office last night I wound down the drivers window to operate the car park barrier - and a mini tsunami came through and drenched me and left water running down the inside of the door panel.

The entire contents of standing water off the roof had decided to take the opportunity to head inside. Was I unlucky, angle of the road? - my old Occy never did this to me or is it a design issue and has anyone else experienced this?

I noticed the very same thing. Even opening the door on a wet day lets the seat get a soaking. opening a back door is worse . The price to pay for less wind noise and aerodynamics I suppose.
