When it is sitting water will get in, depending on the amount of rain, but if ends up on the radiator hoses, not a big deal - just wipe it off. I have chrome radiator tubes - so I keep them wiped off. I don't drive mine in the rain, but sometimes you get caught out, so as soon as I get home, I wipe it off outside and under the hood anyway. The benefits OUT WEIGH the little bit of water you might encounter. One of my friends places tape over his vents, I wouldn't recommend that. _____________________________ Charlie Smith, President SCOA Saleen NATIONALS Aug 1-3, 2008 http://www.saleenclubofamerica.com (in reply to 00stang37) Post #: 6
