Default Wiper Cowl questions

I have been trying to fix my loose wiper arms. I get so far when it comes to removing the cowl and then I get stuck. I removed both wiper arms, the cowl screws, and the gasket clips. However, on the far passenger side of the cowl it seems that it is almost glued down. There are no more clips left and the gasket and cowl are literally stuck to firewall still.

Anyone have any experience with this? The car was involved in a collision 10+ years ago, could they have glued it down or something?

Its fastened by 14 screws which are covered by round caps/clips.

If you removed all of them and its still stuck, it may be glued in.

Good luck

I looked the cowl over top to bottom. I believe you mean 14 fasteners right? Some clips and some screws?

Is there a way I can possibly remove it? I was considering heading the area with a hair dryer.

Used a hair dryer, thing popped off finally. Thanks for your help.


I wanted to get those clips that clip into the hood seal and the covers for the screws that screw the cowl down. Does anyone know the part number?

I believe its 6 for the covers, and 38 for those clips. I just want to be sure.
