…your are dumb enough to leave the sunroof open, and it rains.
Didn’t want to mention this in my previous post, until I went out and accessed the damage; however, upon returning last night, I left the sunroof open and the H3 in the driveway, and this morning we had a thunderstorm roll through. It woke me up, and when getting my coffee, I looked out the window to check to see if I had closed the roof from the night before. Yes, my puppy heard the “F” word (not the first time), and I scrambled to get my jeans on and run out the door to close the roof.
Best guess estimate is about two minutes of rain fell before I realized what I had done, and ran outside and closed the roof. Lucky for me, the thunder came before the rain, and lucky for me it was a thunderstorm and not a nice quiet rain.
Now, the rain has stopped and I went out to survey the damage with a pile of towels.
Seats were wet, but being leather, easy to dry off. Console was wet, and cup holder had a very slight amount of water. Driver’s door was wet, but passenger’s door was dry. I/P did not have any water; neither did the backseat.
Floor mats were wet, but were not soaked, and probably about as wet as if it was a rainy day and I was getting in and out a few times.
As soon as the sun comes out, I will re-open the roof, all the windows and let what I can’t reach dry out. However, it appears the door switches, are waterproof as they are designed to be. Only switches I am worried about are the seat belt latch switches, and I’m going to give them a shot of WD-40 to displace the water. WD-40 is great for displacing water and it will eventually evaporate.
