Abstract: A rain hood for the air intake system of an internal combustion engine includes a body and a cover. The body includes a tubular portion which is received within the open end of an air intake tube and an outwardly flared conical portion which extends from the tubular portion and is provided with a lattice-work structure defining openings to permit substantially uninhibited flow of ambient air into the open end of the intake tube. The cover closes the open end of the flared portion of the body, and includes a closing portion closing the open end of the flared portion and a circumferentially extending portion which extends from the closing portion and circumscribes the flared portion. The cover and the body carry a locking mechanism which locks the body to the cover so that the cover cannot be removed from the body once it is installed thereon.
