Has anybody replaced there's yet? I am getting ready to do some face work on the girl and am looking at replacing some of the faded plastic pcs.

Just remove them and paint them. They'll look brand new unless they're cracked. I plasti dipped mine. They look great.

thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

I can't say that I have used the product below, nor can I say what I used in its place. However I did use Meguiar's vinyl and rubber product #40 for years on a '78 BMW until I sold it in '07. The vinyl and rubber parts were all like new, door seals, trunk seals, everything. The car had aluminum bumpers with "shocks" so if it got a low speed hit it would be forgiving. So the bumper had a rubber "trim" along the contact area and "accordion" sides to give and take when/if the bumper had been hit. Even these parts were like new. Besides those positives, the product makes the vinyl/rubber surfaces look like new not glossy or something. So, I'm thinking I would give the following plastic product a try if I were you. FWIW. Let us know if you try it!

thanks, everybody, looks like pulling them off is not a real big deal. might try the plasti dip or paint before i purchase new ones, they are not cheap.

While you have the covers off it's the perfect time to clean out the debris from bottom of the cowl and make sure the drains are open. Also, change the cabin air filter as well since it's right there on the passenger side.

Hi there! The weatherstripping is cracked on my 2014 and deteriorating. So there is a breach on the seal. Do you think I need to purchase brand new cowl vent? Looks like the seal is the only problem. Idk if you are able to purchase seal only and reattach? The Texas heat is brutal!
