Just got a new Carrera T. I gave it a first wash today and realized that the air intake grill just behind the rear glass is facing the sky and all the water that gets sprayed there will end up inside the air intake duct. What is the waterflow path? Should I worry about spraying water back there?
I'd be more worried about the front of the vehicle when washing, rather than the rear. Those two cutouts in the windshield cowling for the window washer nozzles can let a lot of suds & water into the frunk, and make an awful mess if you aren't careful. The first time I washed mine, I did the normal turning the car into a snow cone with my foam cannon, and followed with generous amounts of water & pressure to rinse. When I thought I was finished, I opened the frunk and found a giant mess of suds and water all over the place in there.
I learned my lesson and now put a big towel in there behind the cutouts to soak all that overflow up without all the mess.
