The water runs right into and on the leather seats, the dash board and doors. I have owned convertibles before that cost much less than the Crossfire and never did this? Is it just something I need to live with or should I noitify Chrylser of the faulty design? I really love the car and I know it never rains in California, but when it does, this is a real pain in the ***!!!!
While it might not be as much of a problem, the coupe does the exact same thing. The water runs off the side and then onto the front corner of the seat. I'd say very poor design but then again what could have been done differently that wouldn't have altered the style of the car?

Oh and just a day or so ago I had the water actually run inside the car then down the front pillar and onto the front corner of the dash.... AGH!

Problem resolution, park wherever there's a slight side hill.
