Scouser Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Anyone got any ideas to stop leaves gathering up in that space at the end of the windscreen and the beginning of the bonnet. When I come out in the morning, I don't want to have to be picking out all the leaves that gather in the space. I was thinking maybe someone might have an idea what to use "overnight" to stop the leaves from gathering here. Something like a weighted cloth (like the kind they put on you when you're having dental x-rays (ha ha) only to fit over that space? Ideas anybody? Nora:wink:
OhBe1 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 One of those draft blockers for house doors? If not protected, the little oval drain will clog, and you'll eventually find a small pond there. I keep a large zip-tie to clean it out. I'd call that area the cowl, or cowl cover, since the plastic part is non-structural. quirk - '12 CR MCS 6m, WP, MR, HK.

Scouser Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Posted October 9, 2013 Oh - that is just BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much! Now - pushing the envelope a little further - where can you get one of those "draft dodgers" / "cowl covers" - I've seen them in magazines but can't remember if I've seen any in stores and I'd love to get one ASAP as my Mini unfortunately is under a tree. Not sure I understood your last sentence ? Could you clarify a bit please? Thanks again for that great idea :-):top:
