Mark,
I have a 2 1/2" high hood scoop similar to a small Z28 scoop. That
is, the opening
is near the windshield. I originally put it on to clear the tall air
cleaner and to
exhaust the hot air. Well below 35 mph, hot air exits the scoop at the
windshield.
Faster speed makes this an input, not am output. First noticed this when I saw
rain drops being sucked in. A 2" long strip of clear tape confirmed this on
dry days.
I assume the high pressure at the base of the windshield is the cause.
