Default Sealed Airbox with Pingry Aluminum box

I race GNCC cross country races and I am having a hard time with keeping my air-filter dry. I have used both Outerwears filter covers and airbox covers, to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on how to adapt a solid cover to the Pingry aluminum airbox? I need to find someway to keep my filter dry in wet conditions.

Please HELP!!

Yeh, that's what happened. My gas cap vent tube got plugged too. About every 5 minutes my engine would start to sputter. I had to unscrew the gas cap just a bit to equalize the pressure, then it would run fine for a few more minutes.

Anyone have any ideas on an airbox cover or snorkel system for an aluminum airbox? Thanks.

airraptor's idea will definitely help. I had to do the same thing on one of the 400exs. I use foam though. After the seat is on, I shove it wherever I can to stop the water/mud spray from the rear fender from going in under the seat and down through the top of the cover that has several 2" holes. If you do have a lid with holes in it, then run a bead of silicone around the top of each hole to form a barrier against water just running straight down into the airbox. At least it has to work its way over this silicon lip.
