Can somone post a photo of the underside, passenger side of the front 1/4 of the hood? I am trying to figure out how the rubber gaskets are configured for the input to the 3.7 air box snorkle. Thanks in advance. |

Hummm...CRD does not have the "crushable foam". I wonder if it would help...I did cut about 4" of the rubber weatherstripping shown in the pic. Does the Foam "direct air" into the snorkel? Hummm again...seems like we could build a better "catch" for lack of a better word in the snorkel area. |

First, thanks for the pics. A real help! 
We will probably bore the gassers if we discuss this issue too much here but if you have left the CRD shroud in the grill there may be a way to cap the outlet and direct the air from the grill upward and into the snorkle while at the aame time stripping some of the bugs, brush and water. You might not need to pull the weatherstrip away at all. |

I am thinking more of making an internal "top airbox" around the snorkel opening...so no cool air gets away  . Gassers would benefit from that also. I wonder what a little shield would do put outside the hood...to direct more air in the crease...like a small upsidedown "U". Maybe something as simple as blocking off the first section of the grill with clear plexiglass next to the passenger headlight. That way no air will go thru and will have to go up.

That is sort of what I was thinking but take a close look on the stuff just behind the grill that is standard on the CRD. It looks like if you were to turn the deflector front to back it might block off the regular round CRD hole and direct the air up just in front of the water dam on the gasser effectively ramming the air up under the hood and into the snorkle. |
