Need to find a replacement part...

Iceman7c · Jul 27, 2011

I was pulling the engine on my 2000 GT to replace a bent piston rod and I managed to crack the plastic strip just above the windshield (not the weather stripping). It is the whole strip that runs across the top with the wipers and sprayers on it. Other than a ford dealership, does anyone know where I can get a replacement strip? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You may be able to find one at a junk yard, but odds are it will be cracked as well. The part is also more commonly referred to as a cowl. It might help in your search. Good luck

Here's what your looking for $115 though.

It's a 2-piece and it's not OEM, but it was also only the first one I came across. Happy searching

Thanks alot man. I checked out a couple local junkyards and all the cowls were cracked. I'm going to look through a few more, hopefully I can find one. Again, thanks for the help. Glad to the name of the part too.

Those wiper cowls are a PITA to remove without breaking but I hear it can be done. Check the classifieds on all the Mustang forums and you will probably find one.

Yeah I cracked mine trying to remove it for a tower brace install. I think it comes from the rubber bushings on the end sticking to the paint so bad that it takes more force than normal to pull it up, and it cracks.

Cracks all the time and the OEM replacements arn't cheap, but those are the best ones. I have never seen the two piece but I would ALWAYS notice exactly where the two meet up. If I remember the site correctly it says that its ok for a DD but if you do any shows or care about the apperance then its not for you.

There are some fiberglass and carbon fiber replacements on eBay. Although similar in price to the 2 piece suggested above, I wonder what they look like on a car, because mine is cracked as well..
