Not sure why these extra holes are here on my replacement outer cowl. Left and Right have 2 extra pair of holes close together and there is also a larger single hole on the driver(left)side Are they for mirrors and antenna? They may need to be filled if all I want is the top air vent and wipers. They don't even match location of stock 5in round mirrors. Anybody have any ideas?

Your not trying hard enough if you don�t screw up every once in a while.

The top large hole is probably for the radio antenna. The other 2 on each side I'm not sure, probably as you say for the mirror brackets to bolt to.

I had the same questions about the paired small holes on my replacement upper cowl panel. They don't line up with any factory mirror I have ever seen.

Yeah the 2 holes on my original panel are one above the other. I think the mirror bracket was original on it.....

Thanks for confirming no easy fix on these oddball holes. They are to close to the hood when opened to be usefull when mounting stock mirrors. It looks like more bodywork and painting is in my future.
