More DescriptionA cowl structure for a vehicle that drains water drops. A cowl outer panel is provided opposing a front end portion side of an instrument panel. A downflow portion is provided at each of two end portions in the vehicle width direction of a floor wall portion of the cowl outer panel. A drainage member is provided at the lower side of each downflow portion. Hence, water drops that have flowed down the glass inner face of the front glass pass along the floor wall portion of the cowl outer panel, flow down through the downflow portion, and are guided to the drainage member. An outflow port is formed at drainage member. The outflow port is in fluid communication with a drainage port formed at a front pillar inner. Therefore, water in the drainage member may be drained out of the vehicle from the outflow port via the drainage port.
