Unhappy Rain is driving me crazy...

I have a 2006 Civic Coupe and I can't open my windows right after it rains because all the water on the roof gets in the car. Does anyone else has this problem??? how have you solve it?

Time get Mugen style window visors or whatever make you happy :)
The reason you get water is how slick and curve the civic body is

I think Honda mess it up with the design of the roof. they didn't consider that in some places rains a lot...

I've never liked visors either, but these are pretty nice.

The Link for the Sedan is a good one. However the link for the Coupe is for the 96-2000 coupe.
There are no JDM visors for the Coupe.
I believe Weather tech makes then and very soon the Vent Visor brand will be released.
The Weather Tech's install in your run channel and the Vent Visors brand attaches to the outside pillar of the window.

That's part of the big "buy our stuff" conspiracy. I hate the drops too but I hate the visors more.

I agree with you, found a better solution than having to buy the visors, I will have a chamois inside my car...

I got 20% tint and thinking about going with the darker tinted visors to match.

I'm sure looking at it from the side you won't notice but at different angles you might notice the difference.
