Gets Wet Inside....

....C'mon you gutterheads... ....my X that is...when it rains and I go to open the door, I get a sheet of acid rain showered down onto the seat, dash and door panel. Anybody else tweak about this?

May I suggest an umbrella? But, yeah, I've learned to brush the snow off before opening the door.

It is a huge problem - I've had it with every gutterless car that I've owned. Do they make cars with gutters anymore? Worst of all, I have all these old ski racks that don't fit anything.

Someone should call for a senate investigation. It's gotta be a conspiracy!

This is what happens when manufacturers remove the good old gutter rails from the roof of nearly all modern cars - if it's raining water will get into the car as the curve of the doors goes into the roof line.

I have had this now on all cars I've owned since 1991.
