very little rain (if any) would get in because you can limit how open you want it to be

The actual purpose of the vent is to create positive pressure in the cabin so that dust doesn't get sucked in. It also acts as a great ventilation source.

In the rain, the vents is definitely kept shut as quite a bit does come in through the vent and also drips down on to you and wets your pacenotes

No no dirt at all comes in as jonno has pointed out (it is used for rallying i.e dirt roads).

As for water if it rains too heavily then yes rain drips down the vent.

No Huy, only when open derrrr... There is a rubber seal that keeps the vent shut tight. How stupid would it be for a company to make a product that dosent work...
