I have water leaking from the cowl into the car, I suspect a clogged cowl drain, on the right side, behind the fender.
So I was planning to remove the rightside fender, and while I'm at it, also take the opportunity to do some rust prevention since I've never been behind there.
Today, I found out that it is not possible to remove the fender without loosening the hood hinge from the fender. Bummer, and also not mentioned in the fsm.
Obviously, I want to disassemble as little as possible concerning the hood, since that is not the item that I will be working on and besides I do not have a helping hand at my workshop.
-Will it be necessary to remove the hood, before loosening the hood hinge, and if not, what would be the recommended procedure and points of attention to prevent any damage from happening?
