how to remove the plastic bottom at the windshield? like the title says,
i did a search but i cant find exactly what im looking for and im sure its been asked before but i cant find it,
I don't even know what its called.....
how do i remove the black plastic piece thats located at the bottom of the windshield with the wiper blades and how to remove the wiper blade arms.
I want to refinish it back to black.
i see tabs but i would rather check with you guys before i screw something up
thanks

Wiper arms just pull off but will likely be rusted on spray them with rust remover or something and let them soak. Once you get the arms off remove all those little black tabs and the cowl cover will come off just take off the windshield sprayer line on the back
wiper arm and a few clips yes
like he said be careful with the wiper arms.
Heres a couple tips:
13mm nut under the cover
close hood, bend wiper blade up 90 degrees, put one hand on the base and the other one up higher on the arm. push/pull up and down with it like this and theyll pop right out.
thats right i said close the hood.

Yea I just painted mine and wiper arms like an hour ago the round tabs use a flathead and pry the middle out the middle comes out first then the outer circle comes out as for the wiper arms use a 13mm socket you'll have to open the hood to get drivers side off try to turn then as your prying up

well the windshield cowl is off...actually the wiper arms came off pretty damn easy.
so i painted the cowl with some plastic Krylon paint.
i need to replace the weather stripping under the cowl cause it old and brittle....im just **** like that and of course i cleaned all the dirt and grime that was under the cowl.
thanks for the tips on getting on how to get everything removed.
