It's not that it is a bad design, but more so owner neglect! If you keep the crap out, nothing will block the drainage holes. If you take these things apart you will see that there is alot of unpainted metal inside. The system is designed to allow water to flow on thru. It should have a screen over the area in front of the windshield
JMHO, but I like the idea of the air flowing through the cab, and the vent windows are tops in my book for the amount of air flowing thru
Please don't take this as agrumentative, but just my opinion
And to answer nonamecharlie's question, yes it will probably happen again in 20 years...but I won't be around to deal with it.lol
