Wiper Cowl Grill
Hi All,
It has been a while since my last post, and here I am again requesting your help. I did a quick search on this, but couldn't find any help. I thought you might be able to help me with this one. I have a small leak on both the passenger and driver side of the truck. The leak seems to be coming from the cowl area (Just replaced the windshield with a new seal). I have the dash pad off, the glove box and stereo out so visibility is good yet I cannot find the source.
Back to the topic though. Is there a good way to clean all of the crap built up inside the wiper cowl area? My truck is a 1969 F250 Custom Cab. Seems they sealed the bugger up pretty good. Please share solutions!
Thanks,
Jason Neuman

Nice looking truck you got there what kind and size wheels are on it? I just cleaned out my fresh air cowl area at the wipers the other week on my truck I used a piece of scrap steel I had laying around about 1/2" wide 1/8" thick and 8" or so long and just went through each open slot on top of the cowl pushing all the dirt and all to the sides and down into where it comes into you cab under the dash my side pieces are off already you may need to take off the duct work that gos into the heater box so you can suck all that crap that falls out from the cowl into there after I got the big stuff I took a garden hose and sprayed it down through by the wipers then took compressed air and blew it down in to dry it out and get any remaining stuff out. Here's a pic of what I got out of mine filled a 5 gal bucket about 1/4 of the way.

Hey Crazed87Bronco! Nice tip. So I grabbed one of the paint stirring sticks from when I painted the truck and used that to push the muck off to the side, I'll need to get the muck out later when I can pull it back into the garage. The wheels are MB TKO 16"x8" with 265 75 16 Cooper ATPs. I was hoping to go for some more aggressive mud tires, but these rated pretty good and the price was right.
Thanks again for the reply!
