live in stevenage, heavey rain and thunder and lightning, this evening, cleaned the car this afternoon and as it was hot half opened the sun roof and left it that way till just now, as you can imagine completly soaked in the front, what an idiot I am

[webby23]

Well I would hate to agree that you are an idiot, but all evidence is certainly pointing that way......

 

[Entwood]

There are those of us who have done it ... and those of us who are going to do it ..... and some of us may even belong to both groups ....

[Del Boy]

Numpty yes, but it's easily done 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Well it is one way to wash the inside of your car!

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Yep! Like when you park in that special place on the drive where you can put the door onto its second 'stop', without it hitting the wall and still get out ok....but you're getting to the nearside wheel today, so you park it well over, instead. Then confidently swing the door open, knowing that it wont hit because you always park in that special place; Oh, apart from today, becau-SMACK!

And then you're buying touch-up paint, that afternoon. Ah.

wife made a good point by saying that she can not believe I am being so calm about it, if she had done it it would be the end of the world and the car would be scrap

My good wife left both front windows and the moonroof open on my last car. Took weeks to dry

you know how some cars have wipers that work automatically when it rains? Maybe they could adapt the technology to make windows and sunroofs that close themselves when it rains.

[KillerWatt]

I did that to an old car we had.
Blazing hot sunshine when I left it outside the house with the drivers window open, absolute monsoon in progress when I got back and realised what I'd done.

Every single last lamp on the dashboard was illuminated (water shorting things out obviously) and the car was so full of water I ended up drilling a couple of [ch8539] holes in the drivers footwell to drain the excess off. I also ended up running the car for the best part of 3 hours with the heater on full to dry it out.

The car never did fully recover from that soaking, the main giveaway being the windows used to fog up at almost every oppertunity afterwards.

I have a dehumidifier that sorted my old Granada out when rain got in
