brad Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 They let the mice into the engine compartment to chew on the wiring. Also, they are the cooling holes in the rear inner fenders to let out the hot air from under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwindish Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Brad had it right that the birdhouse holes are for critter access. One expensive winter I had stored my '76 and '89 convertible in my son in law's garage/machine shed on the farm. For some reason, the mice preferred to inhabit the convertible, chewing wiring and carpeting in it to the tune of around $1500 to repair. Trunk carpeting, door panel carpeting and electrical window wiring all had to be replaced. The '76 had tracks and crap under the hood, but no damage. They must have found the '89 tastier than the '76. I learned my lesson about free storage and have been taking the vehicles to a facility that keeps the rodents under control since then.

WOW....what a story!....I keep baited traps set all around my cars in the back garage.....i don't like harming animals ..but those 'meese' can do a lot of expensive damage!

pantera928 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I thought he meant rear fenders aka quarter panels. That is what confused me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
