Discovered a major design floor

[Anonymous]

After all this rain recently I have come across a really shit design floor in our beloved RCZ.

I expect most of you have experienced this anyway. Its a rainy day your car is soaked, you open your boot and you guessed it a load of water runs from the top of the boot into the boot itself. My gym bag and coat got soaked.

What a crap design that is, mate at work says his TT does the same.

pants :crazy:

I have a better one......

After it's rained, open window (to lazily wipe off mist on inside) and get caught when auto wiper operates and pushes water off screen. A large amount gets dumped down inside of door (and onto your arm if on your side)! You get a right shower not just a few spots.

Yeah...it is a rather annoying design flaw. You practically need a tarp to place over anything that's in the boot...

I was gonna slag you lot off for being big Jessie's... Till I remembered I drove to work last week with a chamois on my lap to soak up the water that would inevitably come in...

I can't remember owning a car wich doesn't have that problem of water running into the boot. (309, 206, 406) On the 406 I find it really anoying (my dad's car). On the RCZ I learned to live with it. Form beats function in this case.

it's the side windows that bug me more.

Imagine the scenario, very damp dewy morning, just driving out of the street thinking "mmm can't see out of the side windows" so you open them full whack only to get what seems a bucket of water pour in ... I blame that damn GTechnic window stuff as it's running off the windscreen round the roof rails and into my face :evil:

My TT did exactly the same, anyone who tells you different is talking rubbish!!!

The first time of opening the boot and having the torrent of water pour in made me think.

:!:

The second time of opening the boot, I held and lifted the boot lid SLOWLY.
No torrent of water.

It really is that simple :thumbup:

Yes I experienced this at the weekend too (much worse if you wax your car as the water pools as well)!!

One side was not too bad, but I found it pours in where the fuel filler hole is.

I have owned many cars and this is the first where it actually drains straight in (maybe it was designed for warm weather countries he he).

I'd hardly car a bit of water A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW.
Bursting in flames is a major design flaw.

And then all the water that hasn't gone into your boot trickles out through the hole by the lock and wets your feet!!!

I keep looking for a flaw in the floor, but there doesn't seem to be one...

Sadly there is. On the RHD manual versions...no rest for your clutch foot. Not a "major" flaw perhaps, more of an oversight...
