A warning to anyone else: do not try to pry up the windshield wipers. The cast metal bolting them in place snapped off for me before the wiper came loose.

[@ubyseljerrytang]

Upon further inspection it might be plastic molding. Either way permabond and a zip tie was my bandaid since I could not wait for another part before reassembling.

[@ExtremDIY]

I ended up doing 2 more cowl jobs and it worth getting the wiper tool its under 10 dollars.

[@corvettecorner-jo9hl]

Thanks for your help

[@mancity4341]

Thank you so much

[@jorgesoto4186]

Mush helped thanks

[@keldogs]

I can't make out the word you use to describe the tool used to pull the windshield wipers off - I hear puller, but can't make out the first word??? Anyone?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello its the wiper puller tool. Its a very inexpensive tool here is the link for one. Thanks amzn.to/3YP8TBG

[@SuwanneeHomestead]

I am telling our Ford dealer they need to replace ours for free because of the NHTSA investigation into this.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello have you contacted them regarding this issue. Maybe there is one for this vehicle. Thanks

[@trom120]

Let us know if it works. The (currently open) NHTSA investigation is specifically to address concerns that some of these cowls are breaking loose at highway speeds and hitting drivers following behind. I highly doubt it will address the poor quality of the flaky rubber they use at the windshield interface. These cowls are absolute trash. Same problem on my 2013 and 10 years later seeing zero design change from Ford. Smh.

[@wiillywonkaa]

Did that work?

[@Link19995]

Ford Just sent out recall notice for the pillars

[@clockhart1]

I noticed you used true FORD parts, not those from Amazon. Have you used the Amazon-sourced parts (Brand: Gledewen), and how to they stack up quality-wise? True FORD parts are nearly 3x more expensive.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I used the Ford parts but have not used the other ones from Amazon. It was my friends car and he got at Ford so I did the work for him. Aftermarket parts sometimes are good and sometimes they are a bit cheap. I have put those part numbers for other things on Google and you can find original parts from online Ford dealers and are cheaper than going to the dealer. Try that to see. If you are keeping the car for long time get the ford ones. I have changed the cowl on a 2016 jeep that I had and just did my sons bmw 2018 also the cowl was destroyed.

[@yaduk8502]

Thanks! I have noticed misting more than usual after replacing the cowl. Is the cowl not to be glued or something? Because the original one used to stick very close to the windshield.

[@walterwhite1]

Yes, super glue it all around …

[@siddharth2965]

Thanks!

[@WilliamCruz-zn5zs]

having trouble putting a cowl on the 2014 ford explorer xlt on the corner it wont snap in why

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I dont think the corners have a snap clip. make sure that all the main clips are pushed in. On the ends make sure the weather strip is over the cowl. Hope it helps. thank you

[@scottweinstein4255]

Bottom cowling part number isnt listed in description. And help?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello Amazon doesnt have it listed any longer but here is the part number. bb5z78022a68-aa you might have to buy it at dealer locally or just put the part number online and sometimes you will find it at a good price but shipping can be pricy. thank you

[@blacknight-if4ex]

what about the molding at the top of the windshield?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello we didnt replace that one this time.

[@jairomenjivar4816]

What is the name of the rubber part that is attached to the panel. Min 9.25

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I have looked online for that part and no luck for me. I think you might have to visit the dealer so you can point it on their diagram. Sorry couldnt help on this one. thank you

[@stevenstitcher3299]

Where did u get it at

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I got mine at the dealer. You can also put the part number online and will give you some options but sometimes shipping is high. Amazon did sell it at a good price but no longer available.

[@pontiacgt60]

How much was it for the parts like 1k?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello about $300 for the windshield cowl check out the link. Thanks
