Take them off before it rains

I really wanted to write a good review for these and I almost did until it rained, which was a good month after I got them. These were super easy to put on, only common sense needed! I was able to haul 2 kayaks with them in my Suzuki hatchback. With the kayaks I didn't go anywhere with a speed limit above 50mph but they were fine. I did hit 70 on the freeway with just the pads, with no issues (a little noise but not terrible). Everything was good until it rained and I went out to start my car and front, back, driver and passengers seats were all quite wet! Not Happy! The straps soak up the water... it seeps all inside and drips away on to your seats. I really don't see any way in stopping this with it being fabric unless try dipping them into a waterproofing (which I wanted to try). I want to give these more stars cause they did work great but getting into a soaked car on all 4 seats and seat backs really didn't make me happy. 3 stars I think is generous for that.
