It's easy. There are some little clips that hold it in place. There are two parts to each clip. The main part is the outter area then there is the center that is pushed in to secure the clip and the cowl. If you look at the clips there is a slot get a small screwdriver and put it into the slot and pry the center up. If you are careful it shouldn't hurt the clip. Go down the cowl and take all the clips out and then you will need to remove the windshield wipers. After the clips and the windshield wipers are off it should pull out.

Windshield wipers are a 13mm nut, and they sit on splined, tapered shafts. You'll have to wiggle them to get them off.

If you don't pay attention to the outside ends of the plastic cowl you will break the plastic ridge (inside) that keeps the cowl snug on the outside ends.
