txcobra Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 If not, does anyone have a trick for cleaning the black fiberglass underneath them? I always look down in there and see all the dust and want to clean it. Appreciate any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Unless your going to replace them with aftermarket vents, I would not mess with removing them for cleaning. I would instead use a soft brisle brush (maybe a computer keyboard brush?) and perhaps some low pressure compressed air to brush and blow out the nooks and crannies. (what the hell is a crannie anyway? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Kiser 3339 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 the hood vents are rather easy to take off. But they are sealed with tape or a sealant. I replaced mine with CF hood vents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisA Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Just did my first wash yesterday, man, can that hood hold some water! What a mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcobra Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 It sure is...hence the reason for wondering how to get it all clean in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just did my first wash yesterday, man, can that hood hold some water! What a mess! Yep, I learned that one the hard way too. Now I have 4 towels waiting. I raise the hood a little and then put a towel under each of the two places where the water comes out of the front of the hood into the engine compartment. Then, I raise the hood the rest of the way and throw a towel under each of the two places where water comes out of the back of the hood. It's like a "think fast" game trying to get the towels under the water before too much gets in the engine compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
