There are a couple of potential fixes for this. I recall seeing in an 
old magazine where someone fashined a little shield that went over 
the drain hole, open at the bottom, to direct the water away from the 
pump (more like straight down). I saw something similar done on a car 
(not mine!) where someone had jammed a CD jewel-box cover behind the 
fuel hoses as a deflector. If you do this, and park where tree leaves 
will go down the windshield drain, be prepared to clean it out often 
or get wet feet, though.
