Default What's up with this GAP @ bottom of my windshield? PIC!

Today I was outside detailing the inside since I am riding out 2nite. Took the digital camera outside with me to get some shots in.

Here is a good way to get the leaves out from inside the fenders. If left in for long periods of time they can eventually rust the inside out .....and it's dead weight







Now check out the gaps at the bottom of my windshield! We have this tree out front that drops leaves and $hit down into the gap You guys have these gaps on your rides? Where does the water and stuff go once down inside??

yeah i've got all those too. but water gets in there anytime it rains or anything, so i'm sure at leas the water 'flows' out somewhere through the cowl. take it off and you can see like channel things, cuz otherwise, Honda would made that a watertight seal. the leaves just go down there and get trapped in these weird vent things. take off your cowl cover and clean them out every once in a while

yeah, i don't remember exactly off the top of my head, but it's pretty easy...remove the wipers and then like a series of screws, and out it comes
