Default How do you remove plastic trim windshield cover?

So the hose that connect to the windshield fluid squirter came off. I don't know how to remove the plastic trim to get in there. Anyone have a write up?

I don't have a write-up, but this commonly happens when the nozzle gets clogged. This would be a great time to reverse flush it.

I think its just those plastic push pins that hold the hood seal in place. If you push that seal out just a bit you will see what I am talking about. they go all the way through the metal underneath and into the engine bay. Im nost sure if there is anything else holding the wiper cowl down.

Sometimes we can tell what car somebody's talking about for his name but your name can be two cars? OKOK, you posted in Firebird so it's a WS6 but what year?

Please tell us about your car, model and year.

I'm pretty sure at the ends of the cowl panels where they transition to the windshield posts there are hooks on the body that they clip to.
