HI Steve

Just brought the optimate 4 great deal, going to hardwire it.

Thanks

All I've done with mine is fit a cigar lighter type socket on the passenger side equivalent to where the ignition switch would be.
To charge I just plug in and close the door. There is no seal on the bottom edge of the door so the wire runs out under the door.

Thanks for the tip Steve, appreciated.

I wonder why there is no seal on the bottom of the door. On a very wet day at Silverstone just before Christmas there was a fair amount of water ingress from the bottom of the door.
Do others see a need to fit a seal although I will try not to use the car in such awful conditions in future.

The missing seal allows air to escape and create a flow through the cabin.

I have only had one trip in torrential rain were some water came in but only the one trip.

I will be reconnecting the heater and aircon and removing the helicopter vents during my refurb so it is just as well there is a ventilation outlet.

These car's are not much fun in very wet conditions. They handle well but the water ingress makes life unpleasant.
