Okay, I need to clean crud outta the cowl. Where are the drains so I can keep them clear. Gotta be on the ends behind the fenders...I think. Maybe mine are so crud filled I can't recognize it as a drain...
Where are the cowl drains?

kitty, this question comes up every once in awhile. With the hood open, look down in that space between the fender and cowl. It is not a very large opening, so it does get plugged pretty quick on a car parked outside under trees.
Here is another tip for you. As you ask questions in the future, tell us what you are working on as some Q&A would be vehicle specific. It is just a good habit to get into and will help you get correct answers.

Sometimes you have to make your own drains...

All of the crap that goes out o the cowl opening fallsto a smaller opening at the bottom of the fender. If you car doesn't have rocker mouldings you can loosen or remove the 2 bolts under the dog leg section of the fender if neccessary. Most of them will have some shims at those 2 bolts for panel alignment. Pull the fender out a little so the trash falls out.

I was thinking about cutting some access holes, and I think I will. BUT HERE'S GOOD NEWS FOR ME! The neighbors had the 100ft maple tree that hung over my driveway cut down today! Now there's till a whole lotta maples around, but I'm anticipating a 90% reduction in the little helicopter things getting stuck in the cowl!
