hydrolocking only occurs when the filter is completely submerged in water.... in that there is no air to pull through... air is lighter than water and will be pulled through before water.... If small amounts of water gets through.... all you'll do is create some steam in the cylinder and probably wash some carbon off.
Funny how people on here are more than willing to dump seafoam through their engine and then are concerned about a little rain

Have you ever tried starting a car with a sopping wet air filter? Apparently not, even on the seafoam container it tells you to fully warm up the engine, and warns you not to let the car die while you are adding the seafoam. Its the same with carb cleaner, Ive had a car sputter and die when I was cleaning the carb. Its a BITCH to start it even when its hot, its worse when its cold.
Before I had this piece of stainless over my air filter I came out one day after it had been raining all night and my car wouldnt start. I had to take off the air filter and pull all the spark plugs and turn it over a few times to clear out the cylinders. Even after that I barely got it started.
