Trying to figure out how to remove some parts

[vankuen]

Getting windshield replaced, would like to know if anyone can tip me off as to how to remove the front cowl and possibly the interior a-pillar covers.

I want to make it as easy as I can for the windshield tech so that he doesn't damage any part of the car.

Did a search online and can't seem to find anything on it. Anyone have any first-hand knowledge on this?

cowl. open hood, remove tabs, think there are 4 (might as well replace cabin air filter while you're at it). remove rubber cover of wiper arms, undo bolt, gently pull off wiper arms. interior a-pillar, i have no idea.

Thanks T.

I got the cowl off no problem. Although the wipers wouldn't come off "gently"--they were pretty snug. The interior A-pillars didn't need to come off luckily.

yeah, they aren't fun to remove. luckily I have access to a tool for removing them, but still doable without the tool.U replace the cabin air filter while in there? Ford says every 15k miles.

I feel so stupid, I have that saved in my favorites and completely forgot about it.
