Cowl Removal and Painting Step-By-Step (56K Waring)
#31
Good addition! I forgot to put that in there. On mine the driver side was attached when I removed it. I thought maybe the passenger side didn't have one when I took it off, but I found it when I was cleaning out the "cavern" beneath the cowl.

has any one drilled out the cowl where it is solid in a couple places so it can drain? I just took mine off this weekend to see about putting the sat radio and nav antennas under it. I broke some of the clips that go under the windshield also had to reapply rtv silicon to the "plastic tree" holder on the pass side window. I did not get to paint it but now I think I have yet another summer project.

I wanna attemp to do my mirrors, they still look good but ima see how the spray paint holds up on the bed rails n wiper cowl in Floridas summer sun n rain.. The cowl was easy to remove and paint, the bed caps were easy too just start at one end and slowly pop off.. I wouldnt spray paint anything without taking it off and painting in my ware house.. All i need now is a quiet motor and no bed bonce and ill be as happy as when i drove it off the lot

I just lifted them enough to be able to fit some small pliers around the base and pulled up. You'll think you're going to break them, but you won't. One was easy enough for me to remove with my fingers. The other one I need the pliers (I have fat fingers ).

For teh bed rails you may want to try the duplicolor bumper paint. It is suppose to be flexiable and is used for restoring older bumpers. They have a picture on their site where someone with a chevy avalanche with the plastic on the sides use it. Just a thought espceially for the bed rails
