What about the end pieces? They often fly off if not properly secured and are tricky I’m told to keep in place for any extended period of time.

Chris Chavez says:

thank you for video

Jerrod Harper says:

Anyone know the name of the part underneath the wiper cowls, the part the wiper cowl tabs snap into?

Nathan Bowers says:

My sincere thanks for posting this video! I was able to successfully remove and replace my cowl panels, which were warped by the sun. This was on a 2006 F150 XLT Supercab. One piece of advice for others is to be careful of removing windshield wipers. The shaft key fell into the netherlands of the body parts. Fortunately, I was able to make one from 1/8" stock, by filing down opposite edges to fit the taper of the blade and shaft.

I've been getting a loose plastic flapping sound at speed on my 05 f150. I've noticed this cowl as well as the wheel well splash guard are pretty loose is one of these most likely the source of the sound?

Joey Ashcraft says:

That didn't show anything is took it off and put it back on

Tina A says:

When i go to website it shows you guys dont have the parts

Cole Gray says:

What about those initial pieces to pop out at edges? Nothing was said about replacing those. Can they be reused or do they break upon removal?

George Chinea says:

Great video. Is it the same for a 2004 F 150?

Gary Hartle says:

Sometimes the first panel will not 'unhook' at the rear no matter what you do, so have both pieces on hand before you start this in case you have to force it out like I did which broke all three hooks off. Fortunately I intended to replace both pieces and had them. This is also a great opportunity to vacuum out the recess under the cowl grille which is usually full of tree junk/pine tags/etc. and wash it out. Make sure your wiper hose re-connections are good so you don't have to go right back in, possibly ruining the first panel. The second one just lifts off after you remove the screw.

Big thanks for this video!  If a guy like me who has almost NO automotive skills can do this, anyone can.  It helped me by watching the video a few times.

Jody Loobey says:

the video is good and all but the trick is to make shur you push down on the back side by the glass to relese the underside clips as you pull it out. other wise the clips will break off and it wont stay in place when u put it back together. i found this out after i watch the video and tryed it myself. now i have to buy new ones.

boxerfan2 says:

I broke the bottom piece to the cowl while removing an engine. Does anyone know what that piece is called?

Vevo says:

Can you please tell me how to remove the defrost panels on the front of the truck in the inside? I accidentally dropped a plastic fork there and don't know what to do

marcelo dias says:

Thanks man I appreciate your help.

SuperSaltydog77 says:

TY for making this vid. Much appreciated.

North by Northwest says:

Excellent video – need to replace my Washer nozzles and this was great instructions on how to remove the Cowl panels to get to them

alhrocks says:

The one question I have about this, is the new wiper cowl anymore durable than the old one? Mine currently is 11yrs old. I just dont see the value in replacing it if its only going to last 5-6yrs. Why wouldn't I just paint the old one black? That would save me about 250$ the way I see it. If anyone sees it any differently, I would like to hear their opinion.
