During the short period of entry the vehicle´s floor will be exposed to rainfall. A small segment of the seats will also be affected. This is not really uncommon. Many modern cars now have door openings cut out to expose some seat area for reasons of better accessibilty.

We have experimented with various solutions. We could have hinged the doors to the roof and have them swing to the back which would have left the seat area covered. This solution would have prevented the easy exchange of the roof module. Also, driving without the roof module would not be possible any more. At this point, driving pleasure took precedence for us. Normally, there is a pause in the downpour every so often - even on a rainy day.
