Bronco II Cowl Cover?

[The Slider]

Does anyone make a cowl cover for the Bronco II / Ranger to keep out the leaves?

Thanks!

I've thought about using magnetic Heat/AC vent covers, Lowes sells them 3 for ~6 bucks.
I ended up cleaning the garage and parking it in there.

If you want to get wild the second gen have small holes rather than slots in the cowl...

When I had it parked under a couple of tan oaks, I ended up making some cowl covers using hardware cloth and some scrap sheetmetal. I had problems with oak leaves getting in and holding moisture against the inner cowl which is pretty typical. The mesh worked great to stop the big flat oak leaves.

Now I have the same issue with redwood duff, and when dry the stuff crumbles into tiny kernels, so the mod hasn't helped that as much. I put a tarp over the cab and cowl now since it works to keep both the duff out of the cowl and it stops the irritating leaks when it rains.

I also put mesh over the side vents behind the fenders since I was sick of having rats stuff the blower fan full of acorns. At least that worked to keep the rodents out (haven't had the acorn issue in almost 2 years, and for a while before I put screen over the vents, I was having to clean it out every month or so). So, small victories.

I remember seeing some cowl covers for early model mustangs. I think they were similar to how the cowls are on ours. You might luck out there. https://www.bing.com/search?q=musta...5be659a9033b6c7fa&cc=US&setlang=en-US&PC=HCTS
