Grinds my gears!

Something that really annoys me is when you squirt the windscreen, with the window open it seems to find it way down too the electric window switches! It's such a bad design, why have all those switches in such a vulnerable place where it attracts water!

Err put the window up so that your switches/you stay dry?!

They're water 'resistant' to cope with water getting on them anyway Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

I've got a similar beef.
When it's raining and I got the sunroof open it seems to find it's way onto the seats, bad design, why have all those seats in a place it can get rained on. Razz

I believe you can buy wind deflectors for you front door windows. They might help. You'll look like a dork but at least you're dry.
