RE: Cowl Rust

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nah, these Mopars came from the factory with rust in the cowl.

Just (barely) kidding. ;-) 

There's poor to no rustproofing from the factory in this area. It is a 
bad design and water stays there, especially when leaves get clogged 
inside.

Here's a page showing how one person tackled this job:
