Ok, i just recieved my VSII hood today, and i notice the vent only has a silver mesh on it with no back cover. Is it ok to install it and leave a open hole for water to go in during the rainy days? Or what should i do in covering it up?

 

You'll be fine . . . .

 

i live in Vancouver, Canada. And i get some pretty big down pours over here and especially during winter time, it may rain like 5 days a week, so i shoudlnt be concerned with engine damage from water going in constantly through that hole?

 

If you have a JWT Popcharger, you might want to reconsider on getting a rain vent. I have a Seibon VT and the holes on the hood is directly located on my intake thats why I watch the weather channel first before I drive my car.

 

I always have painter's tape in my trunk (the wide one). If I do get caught in the rain, I can easily cover the vents that is above my popcharger. I do this when I am washing my car.

I've only had to do this once since I have a second car for rain day and winter and I watch the weather channel a lot.

 

I recently bought the Seibon TS hood. I was thinking of using aluminum to make a catch that would direct the water away from the popcharger and electronics. When my hood is painted and installed I will look at the technical this.*

 

anyone know any sites dat sell something that will fit underneath the vent of the vsII hood.

or anyone with a vsii hood have any solutions? cause i dont have the popcharger.

 

Did you purchase it new? Both the TS and VS2 come with rain guards from Seibon.

 

not true, mine didnt come with any... i got the vsII. and it came from u Jim. dont worry about the water. im going on 3 years without any rain guards for the vents and its been through rain and snow.

 

Seibon TS came with guards. Always a good idea.

Ps. Jim...thanks for pins! SOON!!! LOL

 

yea it is new, in fact i bought it off you guys, i was talking to Chuck. You recently shipped one up to Vancouver B.C, Canada for Andre.

 

Let me call and see if I can get a rain guard. I swear the VS2 has one, maybe I was thinking of another model.

 

sweet, sounds awesome thnx.
