I've taken a couple 3+ hr trips in the rain (houston to austin[3], houston to San Antonio [1], houston to lockart, and back [1], corpus christi to houston [1] and then a bunch around town. My car handles quite well in the wet stuff.
The first one was with out a top...bought a top
There were a few with a top and no side curtians....bought side curitans
Last couple, I had the works...still got wet.
Some of the rain was very hard but like I said the car handles great and I didn't have any problems...other than getting wet. Less wet with the top but still wet.
Just stay calm and take it easy...enjoy the ride. RainX both the outside and the inside of your windshield and keep a small towel in the car just in case water does get on the inside of the glass.
By the way, if you don't have side curtians....avoid passing or being passed by 18 wheelers if you can...who knew the water came out from their tires sideways.....
