Windshield plastic cowl

mecheng77 · 07-06-2020, 03:11 PM

Is there a trick to get the windshield cowl piece connected in the passenger corner?

There is a rubber piece that connects to the model, that is connected okay but there is a rubber piece that connects under the windshield that is not connecting properly.

I think there's snappable type connectors or tabs. When I watched the guy replace my windshield it was sticking up like this too. I mentioned it and he gave it a firm, but careful, push and it snapped down

I just took mine off to switch the wiper motor. The back of the plastic shroud has a sort of a lip that spans the entire length. It is supposed to wedge into a seal that can get filled with dirt or debris. I cleaned mine all out when it was off and it sort of snaps into place when I lightly pounded it with my fist. Now mine is completely attached and looks good.
