Not really much of an issue...
In practice I have found water infiltration to be mostly a non issue in flight. The majority of water comes in when opening a wet canopy. When I wash the plane I put dry wash rags in the air inlets and I dry the canopy and top deck before getting in for a 'dry the plane flight.
In flight through extended rain I get a small amount of infiltration on the back of the sub panel around the hinges. From another post it looks like I could do a bit work here.
