I have had my Boxstir for 8 years and never had water inside. I check the drains once in a while and make sure there is no stuff in them. Just pour water in the drains a make sure they are free.

If the drains under the top are clogged water can get inside and under the seat. Under the top is a black foam liner that collects water and directs it to the drains. If the drains are clogged then the that foam liner acts like a swimming pool liner. Water collects and then overflows the liner and water gets into the cockpit, and then it can get under the seats and fry the control unit under the driver's seat.

If the drains next to the battery are clogged water can get inside the cockpit and inside the brake booster.

It is easy to check the drains, so this sould be part of the maintenance for the car.
