The cowl seal is meant to keep water out of the engine bay. It directs water to the outside areas. If you keep you cowl/vents, Water can still get to the speaker area to drain/drip out of the bottom but I sealed it off to the interior. Factory drainage holes are there. If they get clogged with leave thats the reason this area rusts out. I didn't like that leaves would get blown into my vehicle during the summer months because the vents were open to get fresh air. It would be the only way I could get them out as well.
I didn't need the cowl vent any longer because the only reason its there is to allow fresh air to get directed into the interiors air vents. I now don't get leaves blowing in. When I want fresh air I put the windows down, When I want AC windows are up and I get fresh AC blowing!! Convert to AC its well worth it!
Keep it clean......
