I feel like the kidney grills are needlessly complicated to get in and out, especially. Which just invites more broken plastic than usual on these types of part removal jobs.
I had a new windshield put in today by safelite. Installer did a great job and I was happy that we didn’t find any rust lurking under the seals or old sealant. Just a lot of dirt and grime that needs to be cleaned. Some of the plastic and rubber trim, seal and cover pieces, especially the cowl cover piece, are in pretty bad shape. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle of plastic pieces up at the cowl.
