Wiper cowl screen / mesh ?

[65-440]

Ok, maybe suffering from a mild case of paranoia but figured it would be worth a shot. On my '68 Coronet, the dash and heater box have been removed. I thoroughly cleaned out the wiper cowl of all natures crap. Shockingly there is no rot ! Before I put the heater box and dash back in I was thinking of somehow installing a metal screen on the bottom side of the cowl vent to prevent future crap from building up. Yes the car will be outside and driven on a regular basis. No garage queen this time ! Wondering if some of you folks have ventured down this road before ... thanks !

I have not, but I'm looking forward to seeing how yours looks/works if you go that route.. I pulled a bunch of crap out of mine.

I'm still tossing the idea around. Got some black aluminum mesh from home depot. Maybe attach it to the underside of the cowl with some seam sealer .....
