Well Smokin it is there in black and white lol. You'd think a British made car would cater for the climate but hey it's a minor grumble for an otherwise fantastically made thing.
John I was thinking the same this evening. I do not want it loose the ability to breathe. I think I'll just stick with the silicon bags to absorb the moisture and go from there.

Re: Atom 3 SPA Dash
Took my dash out today and the bottom two screws were seriously corroded. Had to use my recovery bits to get them out.
Judging by the tide mark along the bottom of the dash backplate I suspect water pools in the dash surround and enters via the 4-pin socket when the level gets that high.
I've ordered some m3x5mm A2 screws to replace the oem's, taped over the 4-pin and drilled a drain hole in the dash surround. I have some 10g sachets of silica gel now, 2 of which sit nicely either side of the multi-pin socket.
