is anybody aware of water or moisture getting in behind the glass after it rains or a carwash or just any kind of water getting in behind the glass?

No, these lights are sealed and should not allow any water to get inside of the lens.

None here. It does stay damp for a time after getting wet, but after over a year of ownership, I haven't had any water-caused issues.

There are some small, clear pads between the glass and the metal. I haven't had any problems with the glass moving.

I get a little water that will enter and run down the windows in my c5 corvette but it is not a really a problem. Not a problem at all on more modern cars.

So far there is no condensation in the "good" glasses. The glasses that had holes in in on the bottom were full of water after the first was in a dishwasher so they had to be thrown away.There is no obvious hole on the bottom of the outer glass but its like an indention that you can see, and 2 of the cups I got were just not sealed all the way if I can call it this way; so you were able to put a toothpick through the hole. That's how water got inside in a dishwasher and its close to impossible to get it out.

You may also need to make sure the car surface is cool. If it is hot/warm water spots can easily be left behind.

Hello Kathy! I have found that placing a very small amount of moisture along the outside rim, curve it outwardly, then pressing tightly on the area (mine is glass) will do greatly. Hope this helps. Cathy Brown

Yes, water comes in contact with plastic windows. Water does not contact the lid as max water level is way lower.

Hi. I use regular tap water which doesn't go through my water filtration system. It does not leave highly visible spots on the car, but you can see it on the windows if you don't dry it.

Not 100%, but close. Some water is evident in the bed, after any rain, while vehicle is parked. Where the cover meets the front of the bed, in each corner, are tiny gaps due to the design. The water that does makes it to the bed is unremarkable. When vehicle is in motion during rain this problem does not apply. I have not experienced the result of melting snow that accumulates on the cover so I cannot comment on that situation.

mine has been outside for several months with no problems. You have to treat it like glass, but it isn't overly fragile.

I'm near the water, but don't have actual salt on the windows. But they were awfully dirty. I'm talking dirt, spiderwebs, the lot. And the Winbot got them clean, although it took a couple of passes. You might have to wipe a spot to get it to stick when you put it on. Mostly it goes forward, so the wet pad will get to the dirt and salt before the suction pads. It does occasionally back over a dirty spot, though, so salt crystals might not be the best thing for the pads.

Best thing would be to close the window if the weather is really bad (like horizontal rain). Normal rainfall should not hurt it (it's mounted several inches away from the screen). It believe it will take some amount of precipitation but will probably not tolerate being doused with water. Frankly, I have never had it get soaked by rain. Not sure what 'storm guard' means but i thought that it had something to do with the plastic housing that covers the fan motor.

Mine got wet thru being rained on and continued to work fine. If you are getting salt water on it I would suggest wiping it off with a wet rag to minimize corrosion risks.

Most of mine got water from the rain because we have too much in just one month (200+mm). The issue here is that we need to clean and dry every one when it's possible, especially the battery compartment.

I bought this window cleaner because I have/had bad hard water spots from my chemicaly treated water at my house..(we have very hard water and everything gets spots on it if you don't wipe it off right away) and the windshield on my car was a mess..but by god this stuff worked.. worked very well.. but it the shower I just don't know.. we have a curtain made of plastic.. when it gets funky..I toss it out get a new one.. but on all other glass it worked wonders..little pricey but worth it if you want spotless glass.. hope this helps

No! That's the one thing I didn't realize. If it rains uncovered the pit area gets rusty, as do the glass chards. That's the only bad thing about it, we do use it alot and are very happy with purchase. I'm considering getting a darker color glass to "cover" the rustiness because it takes a long time to clean it.
