Anyone know how to remove the plastic cowl between windshield and hood?

I was washing my truck and was trying to get the middle of the hood in the back and was on a step stool putting a little weight on the plastic cowl between the windshield and hood and it pushed in a little. I want to see if I can remove the cowl and push it back up. It's just moved a little and I tried putting my hands under the rubber seal and pull it up but it wasn't moving.

 

first two to 3 min. of video . Guy is replacing windshield but first part shows him removing cowl.
do youtube search on this title.

Wiper arms have to come off, trim pieces by the fenders come next and then the big cowl cover can be removed.

Yes, you can. Playback is disabled, but the "watch on youtube" link goes straight to the video.

Ok I was able to get a screw driver under it and try to pry it back up to no luck. I think this bent the plastic.

or there is a groove the windshield sits in it that’s now allowing it to come back up.

Curious how much a new cowl is. This is gonna bother the shit out of me

 

Interesting video for 'how to ' people !

 

I looked for one a while back, not cheap. Might want to try heating it up and bending it

 

$300-$500?

 

As long as it doesn’t mess with anything I might just leave it and learn to like it.

 

Did the entire thing sink down? I popped the top of mine up when I put my grille light bar wiring in to run it across the engine bay. Just some tabs that you have to push inward (or outward, can't remember)

Take it off and use a heat gun to gently soften it enough to straighten out any stubborn bends. We haven't seen any photos but how bad can it be? BTW, great windshield replace video. I had never watched the entire process like that before.
