Ever have a wet distributor? It's not fun. Go with some drip pans.

We dont get a whole lot of rain. It rains a lot less than 50% of the year. If I see it start to be a problem then I'll make some scoops that face the windshield that just somehow snap in place. It is really humid down here but oreilly sells a water proofing spray that'll seal all that up as extra insurance too not worried about drip pans that much though. I can get wet from rain or wet from everyday driving. The spray sealer should do the trick.
