Winter and the hood mod/removal

[kaboom]

Who has experienced the elements of winter? Snow, rain, Or just that raw feeling of cold. Unfortunatly i dont have a garage so this baby is a soldier of all weather. I do have a nextec cover it is waterproof and when it snowed last year the snow rolls off like rainex. My question is how does your engine bay hold up? Did you have alot of moisture under there or anything out of the norm.

Mine is hood modded and sees rain nearly every day through the winter.

Haven't seen any ill effects yet.

I know one guy who did this in Danbury and his seemed to fair fine. I think you'll be okay. We'll have our share of fair days, too.

Mine was out last winter in the snow, 1 thing you have to look for is if it gets warm and the snow starts to melt and then if it freezes the drips of water it may be on your belt. look for that before you start your car.

And be sure your cover is nice and snug so that snow can't blow in from underneath. Some covers have cords that go under the car to the other side to keep it snug. If yours doesn't, you can buy a kit to install grommets and then just buy a couple of bungee cords.
