Yeah, I know - there are at least 2 big-name Viper forums out there, but I basically never frequent them because whenever I DO ask questions, I either catch sh!t for not knowing already, or get instructed to spend $150+ on an annual membership to access "members only" areas of the forum(s). I ain't got time for that!!!
So I'll try here!
I have a 2000 GTS Coupe. On the passenger side, the little decorative screen near the windshield is actually the intake for the air conditioner, as you likely know. The A/C box itself has a drain for water that may get in. However, I noticed the other day when I was washing the car with the hood up, that there is also a small hole through the hood itself that allows water to drain from the area around the A/C inlet.
On the driver's side, that cover is just decoration, and for YEARS, it's been a pain in the butt trying to get water out of that little recess whenever I wash the car. So when I saw that there was a small drain through the hood on the passenger side, I checked, and sure enough there's an obvious location for a hole on the driver's side, but it looks like mine was never drilled out.
So I'm wondering if that's ALL Gen 2 Vipers, or if somehow mine missed that little step in the build process! Of course the last thing I want to do is take a drill to a Gen II hood, but I might be able to open it with a dremel or something just to get the water off the hood!
If anyone who has one could pop their hood and see if there's a small hole (looks like maybe 3/8" or so) right about where the arrow below is pointing, I'd appreciate it!

Of course really...Look at the top left hand corner.... "E Bodies.org"
I'm no help: However I wish we would get a bit of sun so I can take mine for a rip.
I wouldn't even think twice just put a small hole there & be done :bigthumb:
Alan doesn't even own an E body so why is he here ?

That's what I keep asking myself everyday :haha:
I can check when I get home. The 2002 Gen II I have now I bought new and I think I remember them also catching water and needing to blow the water out with air. But I'll look at mine when I get home and let you know if there's a hole.
Want to see a happy kid with a rare Viper Build Sheet? That photo was taken 15 years ago. :Thud: Had to get a friend to sneak it under the seat (along with the travels pack) because they did not put any Build Sheets with Vipers. It's the only one I've ever seen for a Viper.
