i had mine all bent and stripped the top where you tighten it down. i have to use vise grips on mine now. my pass side came off pretty easy, drivers side was a different story, just keep workin it and you will get it.

OK, group effort needed here.
There are two nuts that I see on the passenger's side. So I basically take them off and pull like crazy?
Also, I don't see the nut(s) for the driver's side. Help!!!

As for push in fasteners, I believe there are eight of them holding the cowl on. The first step is to get the wipers off, then remove the hood seal which runs the length of the cowl. It is held in by smaller push in fasteners, about ten of them. After you have the seal off remove the fasteners holding the cowl on. Use a small slotted screwdriver and work from one side to the other making sure you don't miss any. Some are right at the base of the windshield, some are down lower closer to the engine bay. The cowl is two pieces. At the outside edge of each piece the cowl slides onto a piece along the side of the windshield, so you need to slide it forward to get it off. And before lifting it off the car you will need to disconnect the windshield sprayer nozzles. Easiest way I found was to unplug the hose, then remove the nozzle itself after the cowl is off the car.
All this is based on my car, so later years and/or Camaros may be slightly different, but should be pretty similar.

Ive been meaning to post but ls1tech is all screwed up. So basically I didn't know there are nuts right on top of the wiper arm! I didn't know that thing flipped up to expose the nuts! If I were to do this all again it would take 15 minutes. I just need to start working on getting the arms off.

I have the cowl off now and washed and letting it dry. I had to order from GM two new washer nozzles and a Drivers wiper arm cover. Be very careful, My wiper nozzles both broke just by moving the cowl so I could remove the nozzles. They must have been a bit brittle. Other than that it was pretty easy removal.
The cover was already broke had a crack where it pivots on the arm. Nothing major, just enough to bug me though

Here is a before shot after I removed the wiper arms and cowl weatherstrip.

and the after. Painted with the Fusion and clear coated. I need to install the new pushpins, original repainted wiper arms and cowl weatherstrip as well as the new washer nozzles when it all arrives Thursday.
