Why did Ford seal the two rows and eighteen holes in the cowl cover on the driver side right by the wiper arm on the 09 F150? The rest of them are all open except these. It holds rain and water after washing. Don't understand can someone enlighten me?

Basically its to shelter the wiper motors.

 

For some good ol boys it makes a nice ice cube tray come winter...

 

Ford wanted to confuse some people. Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity.

 

Heres the pic for those that don't have an account on f150forum . com

 

I have those too, very annoying when detailing the truck

 

Get a CR Spotless Water Systems filter. My truck looks like the day I bought it. The other cars look better too.

So that was totally unrelated...

 

Ya that will be great come winter time:o

 

LOL, nice Power Kid! I remember all those threads back in '04 about the same thing, hehehe!

Unrelated, but my truck has over 2K on the odo now and is getting MUCH better MPG than when first bought (14.4 at first, now between 15.5-16), pretty much all city, very occasional short highway trips. My "creakys" seem to have gone away as the truck broke in somehow, but I have a rattle I think coming from under or somewhere around passenger area/seat. Will mess with it when I have time, just very busy with work and stuff lately.

Also, my boss just picked one up too (Lariat SCrew for him)! Guess all the talk convinced him it was definately worth it, even if we both agree it's not all-new, but FMC sure did a heck of a job on this '09 refresh. Love every minute I'm in it.
