I'm try to get my wipers off to remove the Cowl Cover but I don't know how to get them off. This car hasnt been kept in great condition and I've already broken a lot so I'm trying not to brake this too. lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Thats funny.

lol, I thought I broke it at first but what I did was take a flathead screwdriver and place the head about one inch to the side of the wiper and then using the shaft, I pulled up on the wiper assembly and it simply lifted off. It might not be supposed to do that though,lol, my parts car is a rustbucket that was not restored but rather "fixed" with bondo and god only knows what else.(ie: the millions of walnuts and leaves that has caused my friend and I to nickname the car the squirrel's home)

How are you going to remove the cowl cover? It's built onto the car isn't it?

thanks,
your parts car sound like my project car. when we drove it onto the trailer to take it home a family of mice came out of the trunk. i finally found where they were living a month later, drivers side torque box.[&o]
thanks again,

there are only about a million spot welds that hold it on, then it pops right off. it s only like an entire days work removing that once piece

BillyBobJoe

actually, i guess for 69, they simply bolted it on. There are two rubber spacers under the grill that hold it up, then about 10-7/32in bolts holding it down on the front. On the back, it is slipped under the chrome trim for the windshield. I just took off the bolts and the wipers and with a slight tug, off it went. Primed it with some rust-o-leum car primer and then Red-Oxide since that was the only primer I had at 10PM,lol. its funny to look at the black/grey top and then through the grill see a slight red/orange. I only put the two corner bolts on it to hold it down for now on my other car because it's coming right off once paint is done so I can finish wiring the wiper motor and the rest of the wiper hardware.
