I haven't ever driven my Roadster in heavy rain. Besides the drop in already low visibility, does anyone have experience with other issues such as braking performance?
Thanks.

While braking is worse in the rain I have not noticed being worse than other cars. What is annoying is a significant leak for my passengers. Has anyone had or fixed this issue?
Even with the CarboTech's the wet weather braking is underpar hence the push for the custom rotors. We'll see how they'll perform once on. Hopefully the double metal treatment and slotted design will give us improved results.
Yes, tires make a big difference working with ABS in the rain. The AD07 front/ AD08 Rear have been an excellent combination for wet weather handling.
One thing that people haven't mentioned... in heavy rain your driving range will be reduced.
My Roadster has intermittently had a small leak. It comes from the corner where the passenger window, A-pillar and roof meet.
This is the spot where, as a service tech once showed me, the little flap of rubber on the A-pillar side can be stuck under the rubber from the roof support, which causes a leak:

This usually happens when putting on the soft top as the side support is rotated down.
I've been having rain entering lately, your post made get up and go outside and check the car for this!
I think mine has somewhat of a different design?
I should have mentioned that my car is an early 1.5 (#33), so the design may have changed in later cars.
