To avoid unsightly marring, carefully pry it off. You'll need to do this on both the driver's side... Last edited by MacUser; 10-18-2009 at 01:32 AM. Reason: optimization of the order of the photos | | | | Now that you mention it, I'm not sure whether new ones came with the cowl pieces. If it did come with new screw caps, that would explain the color match. | | | Gotcha... I'll just figure it out when the order comes in, then report back here for future reference. :-) | | | A few notes I just did this and wanted to add a few notes: - The plastic grating covering the air plenum should be left on as long as possible. This will prevent nuts/washers/etc. from the wiper arms from falling into the vent system. Yes, I did.
- I could have reused all of the clips, but went ahead and installed the new ones since I'd already purchased them. However, there was one weird square-shaped pin that I reused. Maybe that was unique to my car, I dunno. If you see it you'll know what I mean, if you don't see it, it's not an issue for you.
- When you install the new cowl parts, be sure to check the outside edges and make sure that the vertical rubber window weatherstripping is ON TOP OF the cowl parts.
- I also reused the round plastic screw-on caps on the passenger side. The color difference wasn't glaring, but I'll check it later just to be sure. I might add some Forever Black if it's noticeable.
- Total time was about 1:30, but that includes installing cabin air filters and figuring out a way to make the e-bay filters work (and changing clothes once I realized that I was going to get dirtier than planned due to the unforeseen air filter installation). To do just the cowling shouldn't take more than about 30 minutes.
