It does appear to be an old mouse nest. Just seeing if anyone puts insulation up there? Then I would.

It would likely trap/hold moisture causing potential rust damage that would could go unseen until it starts showing through from the inside out.

Can I also lube hinges for windshield through this area or do I need to remove molding on outside of windshield. (Or do I need to start new thread). | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 4,392 Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT | | Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 4,392 | Ponchogl - Your new question about the lubricating windshield hinges should fit in this forum just fine considering they appear to be accessed through the wiper access cover area. I'll leave the answer on how to access and lube the hinges to fellow Bolters with 1941-46 trucks as they will know more than I do about that topic.
