There are triangular shaped, closed cell foam, wedges that are glued to the underside of the cowl - I'm not totally sure what they are for, but.....

I believe the foam is there to prevent debris from going past that point and collecting down between the inside of the fender and the cowl side panel. Of course, when that foam falls off, then stuff gets down there and contributes to rotting the fenders from the inside out.
