Put some prefilter material over the honeycomb - it'll allow airflow and block rain. Engine compartment vents on jetski's have been using this method for years. Never had a drop of water in mine.

Commonly used on snowmobiles too.

That's a good idea. Do you think it would stay in place if you just cut it oversized and tuck it under the hood blanket? Also, what happens to the water? Would it just puddle on the upper side of the vents?

Hello All,

As the OP and FIVEHOE stated, we are aware of the hood vent issue on the '13s and have a shield in production that protects the filter from water that runs down the vents and hood blanket. Anyone that is experiencing this issue is welcome to PM or e-mail us at [email protected] and we will send one of these shields right away. Thanks!

Great to see a company stand behind their product and correct an issue.

Btw, is this Trent?

In a perfect world there would never be any issues, but since it's not, the best we can do is react as quickly as possible when something comes up.

Yes sir! :)
