Hood/inspection hatches allowing water in

[DaveR]

Is there any weather stripping in the engine bay of the S30 besides the strip on the cowl that the hood sits on?

It seems that water can drip down in/around the inspection hatches a bit. (this may have been because my hood wasn't latched down (latch is not installed currently)  This was during a car wash, but I tried to be more careful around the hatches because I was afraid it might drip down a bit.

Not sure where I should reasonably expect water to make its way into in/around the hood/engine bay area.

Thanks

Dave,

There are formed gutters in the fenders for the hood and inspection lid areas to naturally drain rainwater and there is no weather stripping other than the cowl.  Yes, reasonably expect water to make its way into the engine bay area.
