Yep it's a pain in the backside !
Whenever I get caught in the rain , its back in the garage with the boot and bonnet raised then dry all the nooks and crannies.
Design flaw and very little drainage.
Looks great though!

Come on Alan, don't take the Pee out of the hatchback crew, poor buggers. It's bad enough never being able to see the sun let alone having the local bird population dropping by to wet their whistle. :wink:
