I have been wanting one for awhile but im a little worried about it sitting out in the rain. My jeep sits outs side so i dont want it to ruin anything inside. For the people that have them do you have problems with to much water getting inside when its sitting? Also mines all stock under the hood other then added wires but its all in a tube.

 

I have had one installed for close to 2 years now, most of that time in 'Bama with a lot of summer storms. I've had zero issues with water while driving or after sitting out in the rain. There are several threads asking this very question.

 

doesnt surprise me honestly i should of looked. Thanks for responding instead of saying "google it"

 

I had the same concern when I was thinking of getting mine. No issues to date. You'll get more dirt than anything else. I can see where little droplets of rain have fallen through but no major water. I have no regrets love mine.

 

How thick is the aluminum on these things or how does it compare to the thickness of the hoods sheet metal?
Do the louvers seem like they'd bend very easily?

 

I'd say it's about an 1/8 of an inch thick. Why or how would you be bending it?

 

Unless you smack the louvers with a hammer, they're not going to bend.

 

you could always secure a home made water tight cover made from canvas or plastic for rainy days cut in the louver shape . if I were leaving it out in rain all the time that's what id make up. if you needed anything at all

 

completely unnecessary.

 

I was just thinking about hail storms.
