Thank for the help

A resounding..."YES!"

Not a drop of rain will touch it under the hood.

and on a side note a hood seal will help as well...FWIW...the only drawback is when you have water on the hood after washing if you are not careful you can dump a whole lot of water on it ..just make sure the hood is dry before opening

I have ,by accident, opend the hood and poured water on a blackwing. The oil on the filter helped to shed the water. Was not a problem.

Never had any problems in the worst of rain storms. When talking with Vinci highperformance I was told this is an issue with some of the older setups but the blackwing has no problems.
