Wait, heavy rain + open window = water pouring inside?

I‘m canceling my order.
Yeah hard to believe.....but I had my window open in the drive through(in the heavy rain) and water was pouring in like someone turned on a tap.....right on my leg lolol

Not entirely uncommon with convertibles. I used to keep a towel in the backseat floorboard just for those occasions. That way, I could reach back and grab it before I opened the window. Only needed it in heavy downpours.

On an earlier thread someone posted to push up on the soft top from inside prior to opening the window or door to relieve the waterfall...
I was just going to ask this. Thanks for confirming this helps!

Tap it from underneath to get rid of what water might be sitting there, if it's a real downpour, not much you can do besides finding a drive through that was nice enough to put a roof over the pickup windows...
Still push up on the top from inside before opening the window though. Just one of the few trade offs you get with a car that allows for open skies within seconds ;-)

I just came here to see what Canvas top is?

I thought it could be a new after market product.
