    Somewhat. When I wash the car, I clean the interior and exterior glass. The engine is not affected though it does get dusty and needs a good wipe now and then.

    Re: question about engine glass cover on 360 modena

    it does get dirty from the weather and dust. one problem i have, and i seem to be the only one who it bothers, is that when the glass is clean, the glass reflects the pavement. it isn't a problem unless you drive over something other than pavement (such as painted arrows on the pavement, etc.). it isn't that big of a deal, but it is distracting. especially when you try to ignore it. one reason to let laziness prevail and not keep the glass TOO clean.
