Wet wether problems ??
I just sold the 57 Belair and I am contemplating a C5.
I have a few questions about the cars in wet wether.
I live in Portnd Oregon and will use it as a daily driver but it will be in a covered garage at work and at home.
Question #1.. Anybody having a problem with roof leaks ??
Question #2.. When opening the rear hatch when its wet does water come in ??
Thanks Please let me know how much time your spends in the wet wetyher with your reply.
Thanks Mike

I can't really tell much difference wet or dry (that will draw fire for sure), but I driver responsibly in both weather conditions. Tires will be the difference in your comfort level on wet streets. That debate could go on forever too, but for me, I've been most impressed with the GY-GS-D3 tires. Most amazing tire on any car ever!
Thanks Mike

Generally not. I've got both tops and neither leak, although at higher speeds there is a little whistle noise on drivers side towards the front when using the lexan top.

Generally, Yes - Most of the water will flow away from coming inside, but depending on angle and condition of the rubber, you may get some water that drips in for a few seconds.

No leaks here, but yes a little H2O comes in when I lift the hatch ('00 CPE) not enough to matter. Mines a DD, but sleeps inside. When It's really stomin' I drive my truck, there's to many JACKHOLES that can't drive in the rain let alone when freezes. I can see from my window, it's raining at your house now.
