Here's something I'm going to try on my Focus that I picked up from a forum on pickup trucks: remove the rubber seal at the back of the hood.
It allows a small space for hot air to escape from the engine bay, which should be particularly good for those running cone filters off the MAF.
On my Focus, the seal will have to be cut off from the plastic mount that goes around the windshield wipers. Big deal. There is still a little lip that will help to channel water away from the engine bay, but if a some water runs in and down the firewall I can't see it being a problem.
I'll update once I actually do it.
