Weather March 20th 2010 in the San Fernando Valley. 7" of rain that day.
I remember this day well, went to buy a new car, a long ways away, it was the GF's birthday. Vehicle was a Honda CRV in AWD... needed it that day.
In other news, this is why I don't buy vehicles with sunroofs any more, with drains that clog on them.
Thoroughly checked out the TT a week or two ago in the brunt of a storm for leaks, everything was dry inside, that time. I know strong winds can change things. Hell of a lot better to be holed up in a TT in a storm than a flapping tent, like in years gone past.
Is anyone going to experiment in this storm with their solar panels and amp hours harvested in cloudy versus sunny skies? Perfect cold temps for testing MPPT theory versus reality.
Maybe Mena661 will be out there buying solar panels and installing them, finally? It hardly ever rains out there in the desert where he lives.
Edit: Huh, I could have sworn this was in the tech section?
Sunroofs like most anything else require a little maintenance once in a while. About once a year sometimes twice depending if you park under trees or not you need to run a wire through the drain tube to clean the crud out of it. It takes about 10 minutes and You Tube has videos on it if you aren't sure what to do. Easy Peasy
