~~WTF are these??~~
So I'm got my ZO6 Screen set
I take this pannel off to install them
I find these tube things and they are full of road crap and leafs, enough to fill a sandwich bag full. My question is what are the tubes for??

Yep. Those are drains for the cowl area and can be clogged with leaves and crud. When OOH YEAH did my screens we found a Yule Log and a small dog stuck in one of them.
If not kept clean, water can back up and flood the area where your windshield wiper motors are and mess them up.

Those udders are to collect and direct water draining off the windsheild. Since there is no screen above them like most car have, leaves, bugs and anything else will fall into them. You do need to clean them because the leaves will eventauuly clog them and cause other issues. To clean them, just yank them down and out. They pop out and in very easily. Clean them and reinstall and you're done.
