This mod is reversible leaving no trace. Using silicone rubber sealant I glued a piece of aluminum window screen I spray painted black onto the bottom of the cowl where the holes are to keep leaves and other debris out. The screen helps prevent corrosion from debris trapping moisture in the area where the windshield wiper motor is.

I didn't want to deal with silicon goop of any kind but my plan is to cut screen pieces slightly larger than the holes they are supposed to cover on the inside of the cowl and epoxy those small super strong magnets to strategic areas of the screen where they would fit flat against the underside of the cowl. More than strong enough to hold the screens in place and easily removable to get rid of stubborn leaf debris that might get stuck between the screen edges and the underside of the cowl.
