Water drainage fix through Wiper grate?
Surprisingly, there isn't a ton of rust, but this concerns me. In the small grate in front of the windshield, I pulled out about a gallon of wet leaves.
Then I took off the front fenders and it appears to drain right into the inside of the fender.
And this is what I found sitting inside the fender:
I don't know HOW it didn't rust through, but is there a "fix" to prevent that crap from just sitting under the grate AND inside the fender?
I'm also thinking about cleaning up that cracked rubber (or whatever it is) and putting some polyester gelcoat over it. What do you think about that?

I'm about to dig into the same space on my FB. the joint on the windshield wiper cleaner line busted and a full reservoir of fluid dumped right into that area. I'm guessing mine is going to look about the same.

When I took the cowl cover off my '85 GS, it was packed full of leaves, so I don't think that is too unusual...there were a ton of them in the dash vent passages as well. As for where the water drains, I can't help you there, but will be interested to find out.
