I've had this happen once in a while on my westy
as well.  I chaulk it up to another one of those
quirky things (feature?) that happens while enjoying
the ownership of the vanagon.  I think the water
collects in the luggage rack and when you move
the van at a special rate/angle you get the "waterfall
effect".  Even better is the "waterfall effect" in
a sunroof vanagon when the drains are clogged.
Oooooo!  does that water get cold!!  :o

My wife had a similar feature in her '70 Square-
back when the vent drain was clogged.  Many mornings
she got a lap drenching until I yanked the drain
hose from the ventilation housing and jambed a
coathanger up the drain hole which opened up the
drain enough to let the water through again....

Cheers!
