Default Seibon TS hood

I know spring is just around the corner but just before and type of rain hits I am wondering what should I do to my hood to prevent water from entering the engine bay? I have about 4 vents and only one has a water diversion catch underneath.

Seibon TS hoods come with rain guards...atleast all the ones I've sold.

Regardless, water entering the engine bay through the vents wont hurt anything, it will just cause a dirtier engine bay.

on all my vented hoods when i thought it would possibly rain i would open the hood and put duct tape in the openings on the hood. it wouldn't puddle up unless i parked it for a long while.

I have also. Don't worry about the rain guards. It isn't going to hurt anything. It'll be fine.

I do not drive mine in inclement weather. But, if I did, I would duct tape them or something from underneath -- I can only imagine how much dust and dirt can enter the engine bay with vented hoods (I'm still gonna get one though) even w/o rain.
