Remove wiper arms.
Open hood.
Remove screws that fasten cowl.
Lift cowl off.

Getting a good grip on the screws is kind of a PITA

Also...when removing top one it is sometimes easier sliding it off to the side.


get one edge up and pull slowly towards side of vehicle....careful dont bend it kink it or look at it cross eyed.

I want to replace the bent trim around my windshield. I have the replacement trim and a new set of clips. Can I install the new clips and trim with the existing windshield adhesive? Or, does it have to be new and soft in order to get the clips in place? I don't want to rip the old trim off and find that I can't get the new trim on without replacing the whole windshield.

Thanks, CR
