So couple questions on the steel cowl panel that sits by the windshield, behind the hood on these 81-91 GMC Jimmy & K5 Blazers & C10 Trucks, and other related 81-91 Square Body GM Trucks.
I've never removed one before, it looks like it can be done by removing 4 screws on the front lip that screw into the firewall.
From there my best guess at the moment is you have to use your fingers to pull up the back side upward, towards the sky to get it out of wtf ever those 5 widgets are called that are closest to the windshield that appear to hold the back side of the cowl down.
It also looks like it can be done without removing the hood.
Has anybody here removed one from one of these trucks before and if so does this sound right?
Any tips & tricks to not fubaring it up, trying to take it off?
LMCTruck and others I've found that sell this panel & the hardware for it do not sell or even show as unavailable the 5 widgets that go across the backside of this metal cowl panel to hold it down in the back.
Since I can't find any pictures of the bottom side of these aftermarket cowl panels either;
I'm guessing the aftermarket cowl panels don't have anything holding them down in the back & unless you weatherstrip them down or something, you'll never be able to get them to sit down in the back, line up with fenders, hood, cab/windshield. In addition, they'll be flapping in the wind while driving.
Lastly, does anybody know what these 5 widgets are called that hold the back side of the cowl down by the windshield and who sells them?
Thanks in advance.
