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.

California has had it's share of rain too

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.
