Hood vent q
Hey all I really want to put new hood vents in my car. Old owner covered the ones up I have cus water would drip on a sensor right by where the air cleaner hose meets the intake. The tps sensor or something like that. Anywho any good ways to keep the water out or areas they would work without doing damage?

It rained all day here yesterday. But anyway, there are alot of threads about hood vents. Do a search. The folks with them, have made drip pans for under the hood, to keep water away from stuff. I think depending on where you live, determines how much they help. Living in Wisconsin, I don't want them. I'm trying to keep snow out. If I lived in Arizona, it would be different.

Di-electric grease. I've has my vents for over 2 years with no drip pans and been through enough heavy rain (hurricanes, noreasters) to tell you it's not a big deal if you use di electric grease

Ive had my hood vents for a few months now with no ill effects. It actually sat through a tropical storm down here in fl and it dident affect anything. Just put some di-electric grease on em and call it a day!
