I took my car through the carwash the other day.

My Curtis controller was all epoxy-sealed, but the Cougar is "user-serviceable.

It was pretty wet under the hood. I am going to have to remember to re-weatherproof the controller.

I was mostly concerned about water getting in around where the little wires go through the end caps, but it looks like everything is fine.

Last winter, I had an underbelly cover on the car. (Anyone remember Kleefisch?) I will have to make a new one to keep salt splash out from under the car this winter.
