Default Reverse Vent + Rain

Just fitted a reverse vent and I have noticed that with this crappy weather we are getting at the moment, it is getting rather moist under the bonnet.

Is this something to worry about?

Water pours in with the normal scoop without causing problems. Perhaps if it's chucking it all over an aftermarket air filter?

Cheers.

Im not overly worried about it, just thought i would ask if anybody else had encountered any problems.

Not 100% sure i am going to keep it but is good for an additional demister.

Had mine on for a couple of winters now. Through rain, lots of snow and everything else that's chucked at us, it's been fine....

Other than messing up the bay, surely it's fine and no different from having a normal scoop whilst in motion?

Coolio.

Not too fussed about the looks of the bay, it's far from show condition.
