Car Wash

Is this a known thing for the Emira to have water pour into the engine bay when getting washed? What is the workaround for this?

A bit yes. water will also pool on your trunk and spill onto your engine cover if you lift the boot too quickly. lift slowly and it should drip into the crevasse instead. only real workaround is to lay down a few towels I think. But also don't think it's a big deal if you get some water in there. I don't use any towels.

Wash it with the front elevated above the rear and the water will spill towards the rear of the lid instead of forward.

I've been mulling this over. I'm thinking of 3D printing a cover that I can slide onto the gap whist I wash the car.

That's a creative idea--been using foam pads with moderate success.

I haven't got around to printing anything yet. However, I purchased myself a foam noodle. I cut a channel down the length, the width of the thickness of the Amira's rear glass. I push this on every time I jet wash the car and it does the trick very well.

Can you post picture of this ??

Yes, of course. It's late at night here now, so I'll do this tomorrow, when i get back from work.

Had the same idea after the first wash - works well, and easy to cut to fit the opening at the bottom of the rear window..
