Re: cowl screen
No, but some of the aftermarket companies make them. I think they're kinda pricey though.

Re: cowl screen
Happy with mine it works fits right and made of stainless. Forgot the cost I think no more then fifty bucks from LMC. It won't keep out pollen, dust or dirt the fine stuff so it can't hurt to vacum out the vents or take a nice cruise down the highway with the vents open.

Re: cowl screen
I took the cowl off flipped it over on a blanket and hot glued screen porch mesh on it. It's the reinforced kind form Lowes. Been in place for about 5 years now. Once you install the cowl it will hold itself in place. I already had the screen so about $10.00 maybe in cost.

Re: cowl screen
Aftermarket stainless ones were $35 or so when I did mine about 6-7 years ago.They came in blck PC also.If you clean the cowl/vent area well during install and make sure the drains are clear,you should never have a problem with needing to clean the vents.The raincarwash/hose flowing thru the cowl should flush anything that will pas thru the screens.

Re: cowl screen
It has done the trick for me. You could use some small duct tape to hold in place also I guess. The hot glue is a little longer lasting though!

Re: cowl screen
I bought a roll of hardware cloth several years ago for $7 and so far I have done 9 of our trucks. I cut the material approximately 4" wide and just long enough to cover the existing holes in the cowl. After painting flat black, I use dum-dum to hold it in place while installing the cowl. Once in place the cowl holds the screen and the one row of screws goes through the mess so it can't move.
The screen I use is 1/4" mess and is galvanized. Plastic screen is available, also. The first one was installed in 2002 and still is in good condition. Jim

Re: cowl screen
I didn't do the stick the screen to the cowl panel. I cut mine in to fit the cowl/wipers/washers. We'll see how it fares.I used aluminum gutter screen and painted it before assembly. Hopefully it will keep the big stuff out.

Re: cowl screen
FYI.I just installed a cowl seal from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. Nice seal(Precision). I see now why you would glue the screen to the cowl panel. I had to remove the whole cowl panel again! To install the seal!

Re: cowl screen
I bought either the Brothers or LMC black version. It's holding up well and looks great I think.
