The stock airbox shields the filter somewhat. Many of the SRI kits and the aFe kit has the filter right below the hood seam.

They hand wash at my carwash and then run it through the high power water jets to rinse. I believe that's when the water is being forced through the hood seam and onto the filter.

I'm thinking of putting a strip of door edging on the hood near the filter to see if that will take care of it.

There's your problem right there, your aftermarket airbox is sucking up water...

What setup are you running?
