Why not leave the hood closed but Un latched when storing it? 
Mine is a DD and I am in San Diego, so there is no reason to hibernate the car for winter 
 
I see lots of threads about batteries dying in storage. Seems like a simple remedy. If the battery dies, you can still open the hood without anything special
