Use "Wipe New" for this, it works great and will last a long time.

Sunset Porsche has the cowl at a resonible price.

COWL for 2002 Porsche Boxster

How difficult is it to remove the cowl?
Open the frunk, lift the wipers and pull on it?

Pictures, we need pictures
No pics, it didn't happen

You will need to:
1. Remove the wiper arms
2. Pop the cowl bolt covers up (small flat section next to wiper arms)
3. Remove 2 torx head bolts
4. Diconnect washer nozzle from cowl

There is a rubber seal on the leading edge of cowl.
Last time I checked the cowl was around $46.00 and the rubber seal was about $9.00.

I will try to get pictures up describing what I am talking about...latter.

I did a fix to my broken one

I used the plastic that a socket is attached to at a store so it can hang from a rack for the repair piece
I cut it to fit the broken area and then JB Weld to attach it, a dremel to trim it a little for the bolt

Hopefully this will hold and I saved myself $125 for a new cowl

Mine was not faded too badly, but I used Meguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer anyway. Now looks factory new

May not be the prettiest repair, but should be strong enough

I've used a couple things Back to Blk and a Turtle wax product for plastic
I used the Back to Black on my jeep's fenders and that lasted all year so it is a good product

I just coat the top surface and leave the sides the faded black, adds a little contrast

I'm guessing to remove you have to remove the wipers also??

My fastening points were broken as well so the bolts really didn't secure tightly
I used over sized SS washers that catch the existing plastic but it's just a matter of time.

Yes, you need to remove both wiper arms. I marked the blade location with some blue tape on the windshield to make sure they got back to the correct place

When mine first broke, I used a large washer to hold it. That worked for a while, maybe a month or so

Any thoughts on some of the Amazon reviews stating these products streak and bleed onto the painted surfaces when it rains? You could avoid driving in the rain, but I don't think you're going to find a cowl shower cap to use when it's time to wash the car.

Finally had a chance to pick up some Mother's Back to Black and try it out on the windshield cowl this afternoon...
