What is this part called?

It's the long plastic piece where your windshield wipers are that goes across the window. Mine has gaps in it and all this crud has accumulated there and it's bothering the hell out of me! Thanks in advance!

It's called a cowl and it's about $130 from the dealer.

Damn that's pricey! Lol. Do you have any gaps in yours man or is it just me?

Gaps as in places where broken plastic has chipped off?

Na. Gaps as in it's not flat across the bottom of the window. There are some parts across the cowl that are a bit raised and have allowed some dust and leaves to get in.

Just get some foam or rubber tape, remove the cowl, line the edge, re-install. No more gaps!

That's not a bad idea man. How would I go about removing this piece?

it just pops out. Take off you wipers, rubber molding, snaps, and give it a tug.

Thanks guys, I'll try that. I just hate how it becomes so faded with the sun, just like the wipers.
