NX450h+ water in charging and gas portlet

Hi,

We had a rain yesterday, when I open the charging portlet and saw there were some water, even though my lid was closed. Same with the Gas portlet.
Any one has problem? Any concern here?

Thanks

Yes..... Just dry it off with a hair dryer and you'll be good.... This happens with a lot of the H vehicles because the power port door for the h vehicles is not watertight

Thanks all, it kind of bad design. The door is right below thr curve so it slightly slide water in the gap.

Same thing happens when I wash the car water is always in both the gas and electric port areas. I always keep the caps on both ….don’t know if that’s a design problem
