Elec damage cause of water getting by cowl?

Anybody see or hear about elec damage from water, (washing or rain, etc) getting in from the cowling?  There is a piece of rubber on each side by hood springs,  mine have came loose.  Going to glue them back on but wonder if beefing up some might be worth the time.  Just wondering if might be problem.

I have been missing one of mine, passanger side, for years with no damage.  But if I had I would reinstall it. Not sure what they do but someone thought we needed them.

Ummm... Then the whole idea of me power washing the engine every week must really be bad. I spray it down with concentrate engine degreaser let it soak a bit. Then wash down the entire engine with 3,000 PSI power washer from top to bottom. 

 

I seriously doubt there is any harm to lose those foam corners. I've lost both on the 96 Dodge no ill effect from it or the power washing. Then on 2002 I kept them both and re-glued with silicone. Still power wash that engine all the time.

Ok thanks...didn't know if that was an issue or not.

  

So pressure washing you just go right at it, no problems?
