How does everyone deal with the rain water that drops into the engine compartment from the hood vent? I ended up buying a car cover to keep the rain out.

no biggy don't worry about it

 

no biggie as in the engine won't get affected by water???

 

mine made a little steam one time, it was kinda cool. its completely harmless.

 

Why would you get a car cover to keep water out when the car isn't moving? The only potential worry would be lots of water getting on the hot head or exhaust manifold, but even that is not a problem. The vent has louvres designed specifically to limit the intake of water when driving in the rain...

 

What you think none of us drive the car when it rains? What about rally cars that race in every weather condition?

 

put a towel over it
or if the engine is cold , towel on the inside

 

thanks for answering my question.

 

I think that is how one of the members here burned his car up with an engine fire, after forgetting to remove the towel lol.

 

How do you wash your car? =] Don't think water would be that harmful

 

You might want to keep using the cover for other more pressing problems, tree sap, bird sh*t, the neighbor's cat, ..., etc.

I think that has happened a couple of times...

i took the louvered thing off and have noticed no problems, it doesnt make a bit of diiference either way

 

I've seen cars driving with no hood at all.
