ZL1 hood and rain / washing car ?
Does any electronics components or wiring gets wet due the opening in the ZL1 hood ?
During the Florida monsoon summer season or washing a ZL1 will water seep into areas where water shouldn’t be ? Sorry for the silly question. Thanks Last edited by Dave777; 11-18-2020 at 06:14 PM. |

Be careful to keep your crack covered so something doesn't seep in!

There is a water diverter on the underside of the scoop that collects the water and directs it to fall right in front of the accessory belts, where it has a mostly straight shot at the ground. Gm’s not going to sell a car that can’t handle some rain.

No your ZL1 will be okay! No worries.

I even removed the rain diverter and have no issues when washing the car.

If you think about it, when your drive in a torrential downpour, behind a truck, with 18 wheels kicking up water, *everything* gets drenched. Electrical connectors are far beyond what they used to be. Not even an issue anymore.

Tough for the guys who detail their engine bay though.

When I wash my car I always put a chamois in the crevis of scoop to keep most of the water from entering engine bay.
