Default wolf bra in rain?

Ive wondered this as my car is a daily driver can you use the bras in rain i mean keep them permanently mounted or do they get soaked and weight down the vehicle need to be removed? I have a wolf bra i bought from a forum member i thought you could use bras in the rain but i read somewhere they get soaked underneath and sagged. May have been a bras specialist expert seller that sold the colgan bars that told me that thru email or live chat. I still need to get 35% window tint im going to attempt to do the precut 32$ ebay window tint that worked out well on my 95z28 and 98 z28 back in 2008-2009 both times i did the home tinting with ebays precut window tint which was a perfect cut. Im still debating if the 284p 125$ wing is going to look good or cramp the style the rear bumper looks clean without it and decide if im going to attempt to mount the black bra a forum member gave me a good deal on. Just my only concern is the car is a daily driver and i dont want to have to remove it for rain purposes. Im going for the black on red look. The car doesnt look too bad just the front bumper has paint blemishes worst part of the car. I had seen some other forum members red corvette in the shade under a tree that had a black bra and thought it looked great, Not sure if he keeps it on or removes it at times. I think the car was for sale as well. Found it when i went forum searching car bras i believe.

I have no knowledge of the Wolf bra, but if you do put one on, I suggest that you routinely (every month) remove it and put a polish/wax between the clean coat and the cover. It is not the rain that is the problem, it is the small dirt particles that find a way into the space between the cover and paint and act like sand paper. I found that out on my DD that I had left one on without doing this suggestion.
