I'm pretty sure when you pull-off that weather stripping you'll see 4 or 5 of those screw-in plastic locking thingys (they look like push-in clips). I suppose if you yank on it hard enough they will pop-off. But yeah, I helped Aaron take the cowl cover off his car, took less than 3 minutes. And you just have to disconnect the bigger (main) washer fluid line underneath.
