So squirrels are able get underneath that cowl that you removed??

Mice at least, yes. I cannot vouch for squirrels.

I pulled the cowl. Here is the entry point. (You can also see where they chewed through two wires that I'll splice back together)
I will measure this and model something to 3D print a cover today after work.

I'm being pedantic here, but for the sake of accuracy...

You removed the plastic "cowl cover", and we're now looking at the cowl itself. The cowl is the metal body piece that is permanently attached to the cab. At each end of the cowl, there is a drain gap where the fenders attach. Critters are getting in through those gaps.

Looking at the HVAC intake, it would be easy to create a cover with some mesh/screen to prevent critter intrusion.

Thanks for digging into this!

But you had acorns there? Didn’t think mice carried acorns around?
