You have the big one over the slotted opening in the cowl, got that.

If you remove the cowl on the pass side you have the big opening for
the air intake.
When I pulled my cowl off, there was a grill the size of that opening
laying *beside* that opening.
I'm assuming it's just wiggled off and stuck over time and it is
supposed to go over the air intake?

Any tips on keeping debris out of that area or sticking the grills
back on?  I used a bead of silicon for the top grill in the cowl, but
I'm not real sure it's gonna stick.

Thanks..

Could you elaborate a bit more? What cowls are you talking about? The
fan shroud? Or the one down below behind the bumper? Or something else?

The cowl area directly below the windscreen and after the hood.  Cowl
might not be the correct term anymore, things seem to change.  :)

I think I used duct tape to put mine back on. The screen seemed to have
warped and didn't want to stay put any more. Silicone sealer will probably
do the job, too.

Oh that thing, the grill in there is stuck on with the same sort of
rubbery goop they use to glue the windshield in. Some sort of caulking
would probably do the trick.
