I have no idea if this is a problem just want to know if its normal.

When washing the car or even in heavy rain, the water falling on the door handles constantly triggers the locking or unlocking action. I have no idea if it happens when there is no fob nearby (obviously it wouldn't unlock). I assume its not happening while the car is being driven. I just know it looks silly for the lights to keep flashing every few seconds when parked and water is falling on it.

If its normal it might answer the question I had about why other car's with easy access have a physical button to unlock and automatically lock because that eliminates any chance of over-sensitivity in a touch control.

mine does that if im close by with the fob in my pocket. When washing the car every time i spray the handle it happens. If i leave the fob away from the car, it does not happen. i have read that its a normal issue.
