Next Up: Wiper Linkage Bushings!

Debris that goes through the cowl drain falls down behind the dog leg portion of the fender where there are more small drain openings underneath. I have removed the 2 fender bolts under there and pulled that gap open a little to get a good wash. Lack of rocker moldings can be a good thing.
With rocker moldings, just bolt removal will let the panel alignment spacers/washers come out providing more opening.
