          If you need to get wet before you fit your snorkel, just disconnect the air intake from behind the nearside front headlight. This raises the height at which you suck in water by at least 6 inches.
          I've had my 3rd Gen with a bow wave at bonnet height and no problems, ask any of the Norfolk day out guys (and gals). Ok so I got stuck in mud a few times.....!

                  make bracket to fit pipe to roof pillar
                  then fit pipe

                  and sile a cardboard sleeve (corn flakes box)down the pipe cutting it until it sits onto the wing .i coved the wing with masking tape so that i could draw around the cardboard slave ,this gives you the shape of the hole ,and its a funny old shape.then remove the pipe / wing and cut with a jig saw ,cut inside the lines fit wing and try pipe for size you will have to enlarge the hole .remembering that you can remove but you cant replace

                  and thats the hard bit .i removed the part of the air intake that lives behind the head light cut a hole in the inner wing and well you can see from the pics what i did .its all very simples




                  with out the LR top it cost me about £10
                  oh i forgot ,to finesh the hole i used some rubber water pipe the stuff that is connector to the water jets that wash the windscreen.just put a slit in it and slide it around the hole,finishes it off a treat

                      Use a nibbler instead of a jigsaw if you want to be a bit more careful.

                        but at the end of the day as long as the hole isnt too big you can finnish off with a file then the rubber pipe covers everything
