Well i just tested mine after the silicon had a few days to dry , its WORSE if anything , im going to pull the wiper arms so i can get the cowl vent all the way off , might make a gasket , or make that 2 piece cowl 1 damn piece... it was a lot of water at one point , WAY to much to be dripping on top me engine , cover or no cover , i got a little video of it , ill post it later ...

I wonder if you can mod the engine cover so it extends further back under the cowl/windshield area.

Alright , I'm going in! Damn , those wiper arms be tight ! Im not about to let this leak beat me , no matter what it takes, sump pump , drain holes , giant fan , redirected exhaust , ima find , ima fix... Then , and only then will I consider a cover , or recommended one to others ... (damn ,that's kinda noble of me )...

Ford Recall. The dealer can install this for you, but they are 6 weeks out. Currently only offering Ford blue as color choice.

Cheap knock-offs available at Lowe's and Home Depot ;)
But they don't fit like the OEM. :)

Parked slightly downhill , water is a steady stream , fill a small swimming pool in an hours worth of rain ...
Am I missing something here? Why do this with the hood up?

It seems like the lip at the edge of the gutter should be taller, or the whole gutter should slope back.
