Anyone with experience removing the windshield cowl during a previous install process for accessories or even PPF?

Looking at instructions on how to remove the plastic cowl to see if a radio antenna can be mounted below.

Not too many options or examples at the moment but after looking around this is probably the best spot for an antenna due to the hood design?

Yes, just be prepared for the plastic tabs to break. It did fit back it quiet snugly but again be prepared for some small bits to break.

The small trim will come off by pulling towards you and the cowl / plastic cover above is a bit more stubborn and this is where 2 of the tabs did snap off.

ehh, good to know it fits snugly back in, but I'm really trying to avoid breaking anything lol. However the cowl removal does make things easier for wrapping purposes. I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks!

Did you get the cowl pieces off? I’m interested in removing the two outermost pieces for wrapping the A-pillar as well! Please let me know how to remove them…and post pics if you have any!

I have not attempted. I've seen more than enough post to know that they are a one time install and the parts will definetly break. Therefore I'm going to workaround it as best as I can!
