It isn't ideal for sure to keep getting those parts wet. If I were you, get a car cover, or cut out a chunk of cardboard, wrap a trashbag over the cardboard, staple it really tight and slide that over your engine bay covering your sc when you park (making sure the motor is completely cool!).

You wouldn't want anything rusting up with your kw. Some water once in a while isn't detrimental, but it sounds like your car is always outside, and you have a vented hood, and garage parking isn't an option for you.

Also, maybe make a laminated note that's a reminder you have the kwsc cover under your hood, and put that in front of your gauges or on the seat. Every time you get in the car, you'll have a reminder right there in front of you, before you crank your motor - to remove your kwsc cover.
