Fisker Ocean cowl leak to front electrical connector fix

This is a companion video to the write up done on the FOA discourse site and various FOA / Fisker Facebook sites. In the video I use a industrial endoscope to video front lower right electrical connector (already waterproofed) by placing it into the underside of right front bumper while spraying vehicle in various locations from the front. Water starts to flow heavily onto right bumper area/connector while spraying the passenger side windshield/hood junction. There is a interal support beam that runs front to rear with a depression at the upper surface and the plastic cowl at windshield base is open at bottom, allowing water to flow toward the front of vehicle in this depression. This is shown at 0:45 in video.There does not appear to be significant water intrusion from the sides of hood into body. I fashion a barrier from firm foam to fill depression and block opening under cowling (a pool noodle) and cover with Nashua metal tape (used for HVAC and other high temp applications). This barrier is attached to the front edge/shelf of the plastic cowl where it meets the support beam. The remaining video shows no water flow forward with this barrier taped in place. Update; You can easily do this without removing the fender liner. Insert barrier through 'engine' compartment side. I also blocked off the wheel wells with an additional barrier, swapped the washer fluid sensor for new type, did a VSP block off plate and used weatherstripping around front and sides of hood. I did a reeval (video recently published) 7 months after this video showing no evidence of water flowing forward along upper frame rail and the barriers have held up well. My 'engine' compartment has stayed much cleaner than before. This appears to be an effective way to prevent water flowing from cowl to front bumper and related electrical connectors. I recommend doing both sides as water can flow onto the charging cables on left side.
