I have yet to see a posting of anyone's frustration with the water drips into the driving compartment when the window is lowered in any type of rain. I drove in rain for three hours this afternoon and could only open the window when the rain slacked off.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I can't see a quick fix without adding some deflector to the windowsill, which would be completely unacceptable.

 

Every sportscar I've ever owned has done this.

 

um... every car ever made does that... if its raining, and you open the window... you're going to get rain in the car. theres no getting around it without a plastic stick-on thing.

 

you see what searching does, i bring this back from the dead....RISE!RISE!
OK this is really pissing me off when i had my prelude honda came out with this cool stealth looking window visor the everyone wouldn't mind getting but not everyone needed it because it wasn't that big of a problem but it looked good, it didn't look generic at all.
my question is as painfully as it may sound does Nissan have anything like this? hey I'm with you i dint like this either but i would like to check it out as a temp thing.....maybe.

 

nope. it only works on cars where the door frame goes around the window. Because the Z doesnt have a frame, it would have to attach to the roofline, which would prevent the door from opening when the window is up. And, it would look like crap.

 

why do you want to roll the window down while its raining?

 

+1

 

I dont know what you used to drive... but my ALL of my suby's, VW's, GMC 3500 CC, and now G sedan do it....
Sucks if you want to smoke while its raining eh?!!!

 

Yup - its becuase there is no gutter due to the frameless window. I thought it was just the ZR that had this problem but I guess the coupe does too.

My guess is that the styling of newer cars can't afford to have some long gutter looking thing sticking out like the 1980 cars had.

 

Turn on that air conditioning boys, ain't nothing wrong with using up a bit more gas!!!!

Consider years ago when the roof had a rail on each side to guide water runoff. That was deemed not stylish and is long gone.

Now you get a little wet. No big deal.

 

To see if water gets inside?

 

So were you able to attach this rain guard to the 300ZX's??

 

Ummmm. Every car I've owned and driven gets water inside while its rainning if my windows down. Is there a car out there that doesnt get water in the car?

 

Marijuana smoke gets stuffy after a while.

 

I don't recall but the 260Z had rails on the roof to attach a ski rack.

 

i wont be sarcastic like these other a$$holes.. haha j/k
but on a serious note i do know what you are talking about. some cars have different aerodynamics therefore more rain will get in even a cracked window. its the shape of the car.
i like having the windows down too, but just save it for the dry days

 

i thought only my ZR has this problem.

 

not to mention when your at a drive through or sometimes i like to crack my window just enough to get some fresh air in. i don't know about you guys but after a few good farts i need air, and don't say use you vents because that crap stinks, and thats another thread to start on that and how to get rid of the musty smell.
