Everytime it rains, we get hydro-locked. Can't keep the car in the garage. Suggestions on how to keep the engine bay dry would be appretiated. Is there a part that goes under the engine lid?

i had to read the "can't keep it in the garage" part about 5 times. what's in the garage a bentley or a rolls? you can "make" a garage on the cheap. get some long lengths of plastic pipe, 3/4"should do, that isn't too rigid.various connections ie t's and 4 ways, some bungees, bags of sand and a large tarp. i like the type that has the silver coating on one side. form a quanset type frame and drape the tarp over it. use the bungees thru the grommets and around the frame. weight it down with the bags. instead of gluing the the frame together, drill the connection points and use some sort of pin to hold them together, the type with one straight side and a curve on the other, like hood pin clips. this will make it a break down/ mobile affair.
