ok im pretty sure last time i was out there they had the pieces i needed for my wiper cowl. does anyone have a clear cut pic of what i need as far as clips, hinges, bolts, whatnot!

and next on the list maybe some pics of how it attaches? i can't seem to find anyone around town that knows how it goes on.

thanks

Closest to the windshield, there are 5 retainers that mount to the cowl panel and just guide in to a hole along the top of the firewall below the windshield. Along the bottom side, "under the hood" area, are 4 holes where you shoot screws in basically. I'd call them 7mm screws but someone will correct it for the real size they are in standard (9/32 maybe?). Should be plastic nuts in the firewall area for these 4 screws to go in to.

Hope it helps. My cameras settings got all messed up the other day, having a big issue getting it to focus worth a darn on close up junk.

thanks randy. are those pieces plastic? thats what it looked like was on the cowl at the yard. worse case they wanted $5 so i'll just buy em and go from there!

Yes, the pieces up closest to the glass (5 of them) are plastic.

aight guys i got the pieces i need..................BUT........

my windshield wipers won't come off! i've tried the clip deal but maybe im missing something. it does look like the previous owner painted the knob that the wiper goes on and i don't know if that is causing any problems or not.

any ideas?

They make a tool that helps a lot, but you can get them off w/out it. Just wiggle and giggle and keep constant pressure up and away and you'll walk them off if you're holding the retainer clip out.
