the gap where the cowl meets the wiper blade base piece there are clips there, lift up on the cowl at that place and push down the piece around the wiper blade, do it on both sides, then just start lifting up the cowl on the sides and the clips will pop out. dont be afraid to tug on it either, i pull the sh*t out of mine and i never broke anything.

on the bottom of the windshield where the cowl piece goes up near the windshield wiper, there's clips there that u need to pop out. basically where the bottom of the windshield comes up from that "u" shape.

you lift up the cowl piece and press down on the piece to the right and the clips will pop out. then just work your way down and it come off no problem
