I am still surprised this was the best setup that could be engineered in 1970s. Lets see....well we need to get some air into the car what should we do? Maybe we can open up a large section of the car facing up to the heavens for air to get into, great problem solved. But wait...what do we do with the water and everything else that happens to fall in there?. No problem, what we will do is route all of that water, into the cab, through the fresh air vent. But what if debris collects somewhere in the process? That could leave pooling water in the cowl or worse yet send water into the cab?....ahhh, we will be long retired when they figure that out.
