Cowl Debris Question...
Took the cowl off to clean out the pine needles(even found a Soy Sauce Packet along the way). I also sucked some out of the kick panel vents. I can only get so far with the vacuum. Any suggestions for getting all the debris out of it?

Re: Cowl Debris Question...
Switch your dry vac to blow and shoot that stuff back out the top. Although when I pulled my heater/ac stuff off, there was still a bunch of leafs in there.

Re: Cowl Debris Question...
If you have access to an air compressor you can use high pressure air to blow it out. It's a lot more air pressure than the vacumn can give. After that run lots of water through it to flush out what you can.

Re: Cowl Debris Question...
After you have done all of that, invest in some cowl guards, they come
in regular and SS versions, worth the money if the rig stays outdoors ![]()

Re: Cowl Debris Question...
If you don't mind making a mess, get the remainder out with a garden hose thru the interior kick panel vents. That worked great, but I did it with the carpet out.
And then get the vent screens.

Re: Cowl Debris Question...
Also if you on the cheap you can make the vent screens from an old satelite dish screen...
