Abstract
A body structure for an automobile with concealed wipers including a cowl top upper panel formed with air intake holes concealed by an engine hood. The structure includes a rubber seal adapted to be in contact with an inner panel of the engine hood when the engine hood is set in closed position and surrounding the air intake holes so as to separate them from the engine or compartment, thereby preventing the air in the engine compartment from mixing with the air to be intaken, effectively discharging the heated air in the engine compartment out of the automobile and making it possible to provide apertures for draining an electrodepositing liquid at suitable positions in the inner panel of the engine hood.
