997 roof dumps rain droplets on my lap!

Anyone had a whole bunch of rain dumped on their laps from the roof of their 997s? I have a nice layer of swiss vax on my roof that beads nicely but large collections of rain droplets sometimes run off the roof into my lap as I go to close my door. A bit comical at work as most people think you have just p&ssed yourself[:D][:D]
 
Yes I have noticed that the roof draingage system is not all it should be...try opening you window a little when its raining as well ,you end up with a river running off the roof all over your electric window controls etc. Like you say go to a very wet car thats been stood and it seems you get somewhat wet getting in the car.
Another thing that annoys me is the windows themselves...you give the car a good clean and as yougo to open it the windows drop a little and you end up with those grubby streaks down them, god forbid you actually open them half way down. Porsche must make the hardest windows to keep clean!
 
A cordless blow dryer may be the answer, but I'd rather get a little damp than have the aerodynamics and lines of the car spoiled by gutteriung.
 
Try using wash-wipe on the windscreen with the window open, vehicle stationary, and a good trickle of water will end up inside, more often than not right onto the controls...

I don't remember this being an issue with the 996 so I'm afraid to suggest that not all has been considered in the design. Tut tut.
