Fortune means searching for a particular procedure on your car and finding a 1A repair video, because they are always the most clear, step by step without a bunch of extraneous nonsense. Thanks 1A!!!

[@spanieaj]

This was a great help! My Civic's cowl top assembly broke. Because of this video, I was able to identify the part, order it, and then install the new one painlessly. It was a very easy fix! Thanks for this video!

I needed to access the washer line in the cowl as it was leaking washer fluid there. Service manual was more complicated and unclear, nice to find a short simple video to help me fix my problem.

[@joem1326]

Awesome detailed video of cowl removal!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I was trying to remove the fuel delivery rail and injectors . You have a new subscriber thank you again!

[@jmichaelcozad6176]

My Haynes and other videos have you taking off the wipers. See you did what I was thinking. Turn on the wipers and then shut the engine off when they are up. Thanks! Very helpful!

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Awesome, these videos are really helpful to see which clips I lost

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Rob James

[@slippinslidewayz]

I'm almost ready to pull the head on my civic. I wish I had seen this earlier since all data mentions nothing of it, but this will help immensely! Thank you!!!

[@bruhh8908]

This is the most annoying part that always gets in the way when working on parts close to the window! A Million thanks

[@kopfschuss881]

Perfect. Thanks!

[@vaibhavdhamal3857]

always helpfull

[@gunnyguy5192]

How do you take off the two smaller plastic pieces on the side where the windshield wipers are being held?

[@framebangin4banger]

just pull them off

[@mrprincemusicandgaming]

I'm trying to find this out. Trying to do my coilovers rn

[@BrawleyMarzeJrDDSSherman]

This is such an awesome resource- I have to relive these two pieces to gain access to the upstream catalytic converter. 🙄

[@baconpancakes2851]

Perfect video, exactly what I was looking for.

[@izzycamaro]

thanks for the great video.

[@ericeza895]

Where can I find and buy a Cowl cover replacement just like in the video for a 2007 honda civic sedan ex?

[@akrammaghrabi6131]

I love how to work , you and your channel is awesome ❤🔥💋

[@greyhatchgamecock]

Who sells the plastic cowling I can't seem to find the 3 pieces except torn up ones in junkyards thanks

[@MarkMeadows90]

Say, if I were to re-paint my OEM cowl cover a satin black to refresh the look, how would I remove the washer nozzles and wiper nozzle tubes from the cowling? I haven't had a chance to remove my cowl cover yet.

[@scottkean1217]

Thanks for the vid! Looks like taking off that manifold would have been a big help when I replaced the starter (a real bitch). I'll take note of it!

[@GotrekGurninsson]

Does this provide enough room to install mesh over the air intake? Or am I better going at it from inside. Mice keep getting in my car. Thanks Honda for not spending the 13cents to cover that opening into the car.

[@robwolfe8571]

No, removing these cowl pieces doesn't really give better access to the cabin air-intake. The opening is still quite a ways down in there and it's a tight squeeze since part of the firewall remains in the way along with the wiper motor assembly. Getting hands and tools in there would be a nightmare. Of course, removing the blower motor housing from under the dash doesn't look any more 'fun'. I'll echo Grotek12345's sentiments: thanks Honda not placing a screen over this area and allowing mice to make themselves at home in the vents of my car. Welp, best be on the lookout for Hantavirus symptoms....wah-wah-wah

[@ThomasCarterMSS]

Do you still carry the cowl cover for the 2008 Honda civic

[@TheMigs87]

What type of screws are they? Need to replace 2 that fell once while removing 1 of 10mm and 1 of the 12

[@reeda.1105]

what product do you guys use for rust penetrant

[@muhammadwaqar9079]

My civic coal cover clip are borken where can i find them Please help

[@THECobrabitch]

Could this part cause a leak in my car? When I get in my car in the mornings it's damp on the passenger side. On my dash right up front though, it's all really cold, like a wet cold, can't explain it, but would this be the cause of any dampness?

[@victorsanchez1983]

Can you access the started from there once remove??

[@marclotzmalang2066]

hi, are the cowl for sedan and coupe are the same?

[@1AAuto]

+Pinoy Collector Thanks for checking us out! It appears the cowl will differ depending on if it is the coupe or sedan model. Please let us know if you have any further questions, thank you!

[@gerardermita2135]

I lost that black clip on 1:00 where whats that called and where can I get those?

[@vnfaraway6803]

[@iProdigyWeekes]

[@Hilary-ys1gk]

Great, now I know how to take off the manifold if I ever need to.

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Gghyggty Gyhuyfsa

[@brockbarber9]

The plastic part he removed first just looks faded but isn’t broken. Can i get away with taping the windshield etc off and spray painting it black or should i just replace it?

[@1AAuto]

+Brock Barber You really should replace it. If you don't then you could have issues with water getting into the cabin and in between panels. 1aauto.com

[@cdanegardner11]

Car guys plastic restorer works awesome I had same problem and looks new now

[@iProdigyWeekes]

Do you have a part number for the clips ?

[@1AAuto]

+Jon Thottie We do apologize but we do not have the part number for the clips.

[@kevindaly24]

Is the removal the same for the 2009 Honda Civic?

[@dior9962]

[@vernonbosshard9317]

Rust? Whats that? I live in Tx

[@1AAuto]

+Vernon Bosshard Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@davidsrg1]

Which is the number of piece?

[@1AAuto]

+David Sandoval We do not currently have the cowl grille for the Civic available. Thanks for watching!

[@simmersinner6675]

My cowl on one side won’t stay clicked in what do I do

[@slitherman7883]

On the sides?

[@alexandermolina8747]

Did you replace your stock windshield with aftermarket window? I did and believe this caused the same issue I'm having with you

[@MrJet30]

This does not apply to the 2005 civic as it's a 2 peace

[@jimpossidente5004]
