- Catastrophic Water IngressSerious
Water enters through wing mirrors, door seals, the bulkhead, and the rear quarter lights. This often ruins the SAM unit and the carpets.
- SAM Unit FailureSerious
Water tracks down the wiring loom from the wiper tray and enters the SAM unit. This is the most common cause of "dead" Roadsters.
