A simple rubber plug would keep under hood dirt and grime from getting in the trunk . Crazy idea ?

Awesome idea....very impressive

rfuerst - I was wondering the same thing, but was picturing in my mind that the distribution tube would pass through and be attached to the front engine cover, so that a fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment could be used even if egress from the vehicle was impeded. Seems like an easier install, and if you decide you don't like it for whatever reason just swap in a new used cover.

Broken Linkage I think most firemen would say get out of the vehicle first , that's why I suggested the rear trunk . But anything is possible .

Some sort of stylish fitting eminating from the right side vent might be feasible as well.

I have an extra engine cover for the cost of shipping any need to experiment....may be prohibitive as I am way up in Canada and its big
