    Cowl drainholes?

    I was wondering if the water drains off the sides of the cowl to the insides of the botton of the fenders or are their holes in the cowl just inside the top where the fender meets the cowl?

    the two rubber pieces that fit in there are drain channels, they drain water from the edge of the window into the drains.

    Sorry, I almost forgot about this post.

    You're right about the rust., I definitley found rust holes on both sides.

    I pulled the drivers side fender this past sunday but, that did'nt help much.The only real way too fix it right is removing the fender along with the outer support of the cowl pinch welds removed and skin pulled back for access.
