A quick visual survey throughout the summer may show the cause of the 
broken cowl piece at the bottom of the windshield.  All of the cars in 
our chapter that are driven in winter have a cracked or recently replaced 
cowl, whereas the ones that are garaged in winter (or when it's starts to 
get frosty at night) do not have broken cowls.  It leads one to believe 
that it's water getting in under the rubber gasket and freezing that is 
causing the passenger side end of the cowl to break.

Are there people in more moderate climates that suffer from this problem 
or is it just found on cars where there is a winter?
