i just finished washing my car and popped open the hood to check something and the water was draining through the openings of the hood. is this normal? i'm pretty sure when the hood is closed water doesn't leak into the compartment but shouldn't that be the case when the hood is open as well?

 

Water leaks in at all times. It will happen with any vented hood.

 

My hood has 3 large holes in it, why does it leak? lol

 

sarcasm win.

 

Classic.

i think you forgot to get the water proof hood option. the rest of us have it.

 

it doesnt really matter man.

 

trade your hood with a lancer owner to solve this problem!

The hood was designed properly.

Yes, a hood with large vents in it *may* get water in it.

 

Isn't this still a comment???

 

put some tape on those 3 holes .

 

i know it's a vented hood silly, but couldn't they done something with the angle of opening that prevent leaks when the hood is up?

 

its just water, I pressure wash my engine bay monthly
