Question For those with FEED hoods...

I just got a FEED hood not too long ago; Is it safe or would there be a potential problem having the hood with no rain gaurd? My car sits now with no motor in it, however in the future I wanted to know if I should be concerned.

It's not a problem for some rain to get in there. However, if you leave your car outside (i.e. no garage), I would suggest a car cover or rain guards.

You'd be suprised how much the little ridge holds. I personally garage mine, when driving in the rain there is no issue anyways.

My car isn't garaged.

I notice when I rinse off my car, unless I directly spray the water in the vents, not a whole lot of water actually gets down into the bay. You're absolutely right, that ridge does hold a lot of water. I can see how driving in the rain wouldn't allow much, if any, water in the bay as well. I just was thinking about when it sat outside my house over night or parked anywhere for that matter during a storm.

I have a car cover, but rain is unpredictable at times, especially in Texas.
