Needed to see if anyone has an insight on this issue

I had a car at the dealer for 3 months .
they removed the entire Plastic surrounding on the inside of the Frunk. Including the Wipers. When i saw it being removed early in the beginning of their work i was not to worried. But then i saw the car sitting outside with the Hood closed but no plastic cover to prevent rain water from running inside the area where the wipers are. The Tech Rep told me "oh that is not a problem when water goes down there. The Plastic protection being installed will not prevent that either" he said.
I left it at that and took his word for it.
But now i found out they left it uncovered for the entire 3 months and the car was only inside the shop for maybe a total of 1 week . The rest of the time it was out there facing the elements and it did rain several days during those months.

I am not sure if this is true that the car can handle water going down there and it wont damage things. Maybe the plastic is only there to prevent leaves and stuff.

But somehow it is rubbing me the wrong way leaving it open like this. any advice would be helpful. If i should talk to them at all about it when i pick up the car. Thanks

Pretty shoddy work to be honest.

It probably will be fine but no harm pening a letter to Porsche NA (cc your dealer principal) and explain your concerns and expectations.

It should be okay. Water does get inside that area and drains out of the car from underneath.
