Intake Water Shields?

I recently installed a K & N cone filter and read that in very rainy situations, water that enters the filter can cause damage.

Anyone know of a good water shield to use?

I've seen a few heat shields and K & N makes a dust shield but was wondering about water.

Dont think so much into it.

Just think about it..... 97% of the people on here mod their cars, put tons of miles on them in all climates and they stay problem free.
