    Every time I wash the car I open the engine bay to wipe down the side panels, trouble is there is water trapped at the back of the cover that leaks as it raises. Is this normal or are there drain holes that need to be unblocked?

    Great observation.

    Does the same on my 360.

    Seems like it would be a problem.

    Then again it gets so #$@* HOT back there it will evaporate!

    Same in my previous 360 and current 430. The water jets caught in the frame. I believe this is normal.

    My 430 does the same. I blow out all of the water with a leaf blower.

    Same here. Drives me nuts!! I now use a car blower to dry my car. I blast the water out before opening.
