Hey, I am happy to say I've picked up my Trialmaster and all is pretty good so far save the towing software update pending.
Scottish white...nickname 'Dirty Scotch'.
I have a favorite car wash that is power spray with no brushes but wondering if the snorkel is likely to get damaged or worse suck water in during the wash.
I've never installed a snorkel on my TD5 90 so a bit of a newbie question.

No reason it wouldn't survive at all... Water ingestion isn't a huge deal as the entirety of the intake is specifically not sealed

yes, multiple times and never even considered it an issue.

I use a similar wash on some of our cars with roof racks, etc. In the Grenadier I'd be more concerned with the roof skids than the RAI.
