I was a little shocked today when washing the car how the water from the screen just poors all over the engine.Its not like any other car!it can`t be a good thing.Would it of been more simple to make a tray which collects the water and eather goes down the inner wings or via two pipes to get the water away.Im surprised no one as made such a thing.It must go over the electrics starter motor and exhaust manifolds..I get more surprised with ownership of this car !

It's obviously a problem with all of the Chims that have starting problems.

I suggest you invest some money in developing such a device as you suggest. I'm sure you'll sell huge numbers for lot of money.

Some one could fabricate one ,slip it under the screen seal with two pipes leading to the floor.I just think that bit of metal with the holes in is a waste,it does nothing..
