What about water trapped inside the garage? If you drive in with a snow covered or rain soaked vehicle it will be trapped inside?

Yes, I do get some puddling in my garage now (especially in a non-drainage garage)...

if the grass is very tall the car may be too light and get stuck. the water in the grass should not be a problem but a puddle might

I doubt it. Its function is to remove dust particles. I suppose if your garage is very wet, some moisture will be attached to the dust and removed that way. I found a de-humidifier the best solution, but, it was possible to plumb it in, so I had no problem of disposal.

We live in Illinois, it works fine here. Our winter may not have been as bad as yours, but it was COLD. Don't know if it makes a difference or not but our car is in attached garage overnight.

you use it outside the garage along door -to block water from coming in, not for use inside ,the rain swells it up to its size that blocks, so outside is where you put it.

I would think it freeze in cold weather as it is plastic. mine is in the garage.

Our garage floor is pretty much leveled so the water stays in the mat. We just have to sweep it out of the garage. If your tires are hot and the mat is wet, avoid spinning your tires because it will scorch the mat. Also, if you turn your tires when driving on the mat it will curl up.

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

Referring to my 2005 model, not very... There is no gasket or other mechanism from stopping water from seeping into the battery chamber. It will do fine in the rain for a while, but it is definitely not submersible. I do not know if newer models are different.

I just bought it this winter. It has been out in the sleet and snow for just very short times, going from car to teachers studio. I have had no leakage under these circumstances. In the spring I plan on spraying it will a water repellent, just in case.

That's a lot of water. Sounds like a house I once had. I installed a small trench drain the width of my driveway about 3 feet out from my door but even that couldn't do the job so I ended up re-routing the driveway to keep the water from flowing up against the door. Storm Shield is a great product and provides an excellent seal when used with the seal on the bottom of your garage door. I'd give it a try. With the amount of water you're experiencing, make sure you miter cut the Storm Shield at the ends of your door and run the SS back to the inside of your garage door jambs (like a "U"). This will keep the water from coming in at the door ends. Hope this helps.

Personally I used inside but works of for the garages sensors. I will say you can place it outside but must be away from rain. What I did recommend you for operation ranges make test before you decide where to place it.

I keep mine outside but it is under cover of my overhang so it is not in the rain. Winter store it on garage and still use it when weather is nice

You need to double check to make sure you installed it properly. If you installed it hanging at and angle instead of level, rain water could drizzle inside. Water will also get inside if you forgot to mount it right-side-up after you've finished programming it.I normally just seal around the edges with a bead of silicone to prevent any water / insects from getting inside.You could try that and see if it helps.Cheers, Maurice

I would say it depends on how harsh your winters get. If much below freezing, to be on the safe side, I don't think I would. I live in Minneapolis where it can get down below zero so I have kept mine in a heated garage over winter.

There is a gasket that protects the interior from the effects of weather. My box contains my rain machine controller and has protected it through some rather strong rain with no problems.

Hi, I keep the cooler in the garage most of the time, I don't leave nice things open to the elements like sun and rain.although I'm sure you can.
