I bonsai 'd the Volvo.....cowl vent solution using bonsai tools 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be twoforty on  Fri Jun 3 17:40 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hear what your saying about IPD cowl vent covers.......leaves get stuffed into the vents. I used a small piece of plastic raingutter cover (to keep leaves out of the rain gutter) to cover the front opening. Cutting the raingutter cover so it would have tabs at the top to fit into the cowl cover, and just let the bottom sit on the body. Problem with winter cold and plastic becoming brittle. So, next step is a wire mesh (I'll paint it black) and cut tabs for top and bottom (to fit into original vent slits). No more leaf stuffings !!!

Enjoy.
