[QUOTE="terminatd, post: 375641, member: 4031"] I have developed a new theory on the hood blanket. Mine swelled and looked terrible so I trimmed it. I noticed that the water was entering through minor cracks in the foil liner. The design of the blanket allows water to enter and run off to the corners. Therfore, the fault is in the foil integrity, not the blanket design. I purchased some aluminum tape and placed it around the openings over the foil and down the water path to the corner of the hood. The aluminum foil matches the hood foil perfectly and is barely noticeable when looking at the foil side. If well placed the water cannot penetrate the stock blanket. My problem is that I did this on my old (damaged) liner and I will purchase a new one, not cut it out, use the aluminum tape and maintain the stock look. I have concerns about the heat perhaps drying and cracking the hood without a blanket and a dirty engine going with the cutouts. Its just my opinion and I know other people differ. [/QUOTE]
