How to keep the rain out of engine compartment?
 

So here goes,

Basically just detailed my engine and compartment as best I could. I also removed the AC coil on the trunk lid.

It would appear as though of it rains, the rain could blast right through the trunk screen/vent and onto the engine. Is there anything I can do to keep the rain out, or am I pretty much stuck with this...?

Drive faster? :)

i have the same problem if i leave the car out for a couple of days and its been chucking it down it misfires when i start it up, i am sure theres somthing that a carrera without aircon had to keep the rain off

Nothing kept the rain out before you removed the coil on the engine lid. Rain coming in thru the vents is normal.

Leave the car in a garage, that will prevent the rain from getting in to the engine. Also, avoid driving it, that will retard the time of an engine rebuild :eek:

Intersting question. Every time I washed the Targa (sold), water would get all over the engine requiring me to blow it down and wipe it off. (Kept it clean anyway) Having had a couple of 914s with the tray under the grille, it makes me wonder why that feature wasn't designed into the 911. Oh well, it wasn't, so park under cover, I guess.

All 912's has a plastic rain tray under the rear lid grille; This is to keep the rain off the electrics and out of the original air cleaners on the 4 cylinder.
