Texas has plenty of rain and car washes. This is just bad overall design.

True, and GM makes plenty of cars that rust at the drop of a hat. My old truck had its brake lines sandwiched between the bed and the frame, and they weren't non-corrosive, so these things regularly fail if you don't keep them dry.

People forget California is pretty big. Northern counties get plenty of rain.

We also get a good bit of rain here in SoCal, hell sometimes the hills melt because of it.
