I've noticed that where the electric window switches are happens to always be where rain and water decides to drop after leaving the windscreen lol all Peugeot had to do was clip a little black diverted on the pillars but no straight onto electrical switches haha shoulda kept the phase 1 layout :-)

Yeah it's totally Peugeot's fault for designing an interior switch that's unprotected when you drive with the windows open in the rain...

Get yourself some wind deflectors! It stops it from hitting the switch, and instead goes on the passenger in the back of the car.

But wind reflectors make you look like an old man.....why people spend ages smoothing or tidying up care and then sticking deflectors on I'll never know....

My first car 205 diesel could swim...... Well float ish
Found out after a drive down a back road that flooded. Seemed like a good idea to drive into it turned out it woz about 4 and a half feet deep. Pushed it out the other side and took the plugs out turned it over put the plugs back in and she started up and i didnt touch anything for about 5 months before the water that got in started brakeing things
when in doubt...... flat out.
