Default Wet Leg? Cabriolet

One of my least favorite features of my cab is the "wet leg" I get when opening the window/door when it is raining / the roof is wet.
Anyone else have this?
It is pretty obvious from the video.

"don't drive in the rain"... was actually my dealers response - together with a beach towel.

Any ideas?

(the "drain" is not clogged)

It happened to me ….. have the technician check the seals on the door, my car was missing it on the driver side my whole leg would get soaked.

Haven’t been driving in the rain yet…. but C/D also described that in their Cab review in 20/21.

Our wet-weather test uncovered another minor flaw, as rolling down a window to enter a parking garage led to a steady stream of water from the narrow roofline directly into the interior.

But some owners do not have this issue?

I will have to check it out myself but my take is it is a “design flaw”. Frameless door combined with soft top.

Not being snarky, but hey, it is raining outside, yes? I can't think of any of the vehicle I have had that it wouldn't do the same thing.

Maybe not those big droplets, but still, water would come into the car.

Sell it for more than you paid for it!

Yep if I open either front window the rain water just pours in. I just keep a small hand towel in the glove box.
