Default Why is it...

...that every time its wet outside, as soon as i open my window and turn a corner my right leg, arm and door trim gets absolutely soaked from the water on the car does my tits in!!

Surely if Ford can put together a car like a cossie, they could have at least sorted out some sort of fookin drainage for this!!

am getting pissed off coming to work half soaked everyday!

I get the same thing in the Bm, its even worse on some cars when you do the washers, then 2 wipes later on the wipers and you smell of screen wash. I reckon they should make it cherry flavored for some cars

My A4 does that.

I solved it by throwing the car about a bit when I first leave to shift the standing water and then winding the window down a bit

FRST's are the same Davey ......

the trick is leave window shut ...... move off .... then brake quite hard, all the water will run forward and not soak you. Then open your window
