Windshield Cowl: Destroyed

Man that thing is so easy to replace… I pulled it off to seal the gap on mine and it took about 15 minutes all in. Pull the wipers off and it’s just a few clips. Water will drain right through those gaps onto the cabin air filter and eventually it seeps into the fan. If you have access to a garage there is no reason not to just change it. All this “reshape it” shit man cmon

 

Thats "annihilated"?
Looks like a couple of scrapes...big deal.
Your truck, do what u need to do I guess.

 

Just to clarify, you're not talking about the girlfriend, riiiiiiiiiight??

 

Is your gf the hulk? Like its not a ton of damage per se, but its also really hard to damage that piece soo...

That rubber strip does play a part in directing rain water off the glass and into the trough where it can drain out via the wiper holes or the corners. Not sure the damage is bad enough to leak normally, but it might during heavy rain or a carwash.

Id try a junk yard first for the part

 

honestly, not a bad solution

 

I bet by the time spring comes around you'll have already forgotten about it

 

highly likely

My guess is it’s not the labor but that fact that it costs 500-600 bucks for a new one. I’d certainly be trying a home repair before spending that much.

 

Next time don't leave her on the hood while you are driving.

 

I’ll actually give props to the gf for getting her ass out of the warm truck. Most would just sit there and glare.

 

yeah, closer to $700... but same shit.. too much

agreed

 

The correct answer is dump the GF and move to a warmer climate. Currently 66 degrees in San Diego.

 

lol dude I love the snow. I love where I live

 

Bend is pretty nice.

As for issues to have, this one isn’t so bad. Wouldn’t lose much sleep over this windshield issue.

 

Wait a minute... did i read this right? You had your GF get out during a ice storm to clear your windshield?

 

Sounds like a winner to me.

 

Here you go one is from Jordan toyota, other is Deery toyota
Dear you called or went to is f'd up. Saw prices from $120 to that $300 range.
