Hi all:

I have the 40th anniversary edition and I have noticed that when opening the hood after it rains or after washing the car that a ton of water runs out of the hood onto the windshield/cowl area. It seems that the vents on the hood are allowing water in and then the hood liner is holding the water until the hood is opened, then it all comes pouring out. Anyone else having this problem? Should there be a drain or do I have something plugged up, or is this normal for water to enter the hood vents and sit there?

Also, anyone know how effective these hood vents really are? I have not taken them apart or looked real close, but it seems like only the vent on the drivers side has a pickup under the hood, which seems to be right over the throttle body. It seems I heard somewhere that these things actually work fairly well, but now I can't find where I saw that. Anyone have any thoughts or know more about it?
