Trim underneath window screen wipers?

requena79 · 10-20-2009

Hey i'm trying to get some new trim to sit underneath my window screen wipers, does anyone know what this piece is called?

It sits directly behind the hood, and underneath window screen wipres, and has vents in it (mine is cracked from a previous accident!).

Thanks,
Mark.

Big bucks..... It's called the wiper cowl.......

yup that'd be the cowl... maybe try hunting down a decent one out of a junkyard. cheapest i've seen them new is like $230.

i need one too....

Far too expensive for a piece of plastic. Try this site. They sell them for a lil less than the average price (still expensive though...).

My dad just broke mine last week trying to work on the sprayers. All I heard was *snap* "Uh oh..."
A junk yard is your best bet. I just have mine glued together for now.

that's still $230 when you factor in shipping/handling and taxes.
that's the site i plan to buy mine from; mine's just not in bad enough shape for me to justify spending over 200 dollars on something i won't even notice.

yeah screw that. mine is cracked. I think i'll just take it off, tape it together on one side, and then glue it that way. and then try and get the thing back on!

do you have to take the hood off to fit it !?

Its called a cowl, you can try a junkyard but i suggest trying to repair ti first. 3m makes some stuff you can use to glue it back together with. Glue it then sand it smooth and spray it back black. Thats what i did to mine and it looks great.

EDIT:

I cant think of the name of it but it comes in one of those little seringe type things that mix it in two parts. You can pick it up at bumper to bumper.

Is it J-B Weld?

if you're careful, crazy glue should do it. there might be some fine lines where the join is but I doubt it'd be that noticeable.
