Wet Boot

[Dwight]

I recently towed my Caterham on an open trailer in pouring rain without the top (hood). The installed tonneau kept the cabin quite dry; however, I was surprised to find a very wet boot although the cover was snapped shut.  My only supposition is that rain ran down the roll bar struts into the boot.  Is this anyone else’s experience?  And if so, is there a solution?

A flanged ring around the tube to drip over, supporting ring under the cover to keep it from being a low spot? A pic might help.

I use a sponge to bail it out when I get caught driving in the rain. Serves double duty cleaning
