HOW TO KEEP YOUR COWL DEBRIS FREE

Qcode351mach · Aug 9, 2012

Here's a nice quick project that works fantastic for keeping the cowl area debris free..You need some black screen...black small zip ties..I used different colors so it would show in the pics..Pretty self explanatory..

That´s one of those "why didn´t I come with that" ideas.

Cool!

Gonna do that tomorrow, I think I got some of that stuff left.

Had Ford done that it would have prevented a lot of rusted out cowls. I believe the number one offender is debris which over time blocks the drains then soaks up moisture like a spong resulting in the rust. Nice tip "Q"

BINGO!! It was is the #1 killer of the cowl area Now you know how to keep it nice!

Great minds think alike! I was thinking about doing the very same thing when it was time to put the cowl vent pieces back in.

"Well done" for putting together this quick and very valuable tip!

definitely a great idea, so easy a caveman like myself can do it. Especially after what the squirrels left in there!

I just Dont park under trees and clean my car from time to time:dodgy:

Good idea. Couldn't you just glue it on with contact adhesive?

I agree. I like the idea, but I am thinking a bead of silicone around the edge before you place that carefully cut screen on there. Then, no need for wire-ties... Just me? I do think silicone caulk would be stronger and last longer than contact adhesive in this rather hot environment - although there is the possibility the silicone won't stick to the plastic very well....

I was thinking more spray on, as I have a gun to do this for car audio stuff

I think it would hold up, that area doesn't get THAT hot.
