What is this vent?
Does anyone know what this vent is for? I was cleaning leaves out of it and I got a few in there and I dont know if it's a problem or not.

Lol, I'm assuming you never had a car before or know what's under the hood.
This is the drain for the cowl. Try it! Pour water down the cowl and watch it work. ! |

Never appreciated how flimsy they were to fit in there- there should be some grooves or mechanism to really snap them in place.
I could never remove them without dropping crap into that hole anyway- stupid design. |

There are two finger shaped provisions, put your fingers on/in them and pull straight up.
