Hood vents, louvers, etc...

[Ry' N Jen]

For all you folks who have fitted hood vents, louvered panels and the like;
do you have any issues with water dripping down on the engine at all when
it is raining or when the snow falls?
Have you needed to waterproof any of the under hood electrics?
Do you cover them up in the Autumn/winter months?
Or just not worry about it?

And something like this on hood:

I've had mine on for I think 4 years now and no problems at all, been through all kinds of rain, snow, hail etc and never misses a beat. I've had a foot of snow on the hood, sitting in a rain storm that you couldn't see to drive and not one problem

Anyway, any consequences to removing the cross brace from the hood?

Yes there is,the hood would buckle(or taco) when you tried to close it.It would take some time for this to happen but much sooner if you have new hood struts.
