Hello,
I hope someone here is sectioning a car. I need to repair the lower cowl sections below the windshield due to a failure of the front lid latch mechanism.

The damage luckily was minimized by the fact it happened at 30 mph, ( I was a block from the freeway where 80 mph is about the going rate.)

I need the lower sections, left and right, from the windshield to the weatherstripping channel, from the windshield squirter to the fender.

Please something rust free and something that would require minimal prep.

Thanks
Mike

I have this one in San Jose, CA. It's pretty good- no rust in the windshield channel. There's some rust in the left corner (pictured). I'll send a PM.

Can possibly deliver to Pismo Beach in May.

thanks,
Carl

Maybe I wasn't as clear as I thought I was, so this is what I am looking for, the sections within the boxes, the parts with the arrows, somewhat crudely drawn, is all that I need.

I need them in good shape, I need the squirter hole to the fender, windshield to and including the weather stripping channel.

Thanks again,
Mike

Dear Mike: The blue parts that were offered are about what you find available on any car that is being parted. Even the cars in the desert rust in the cowl channels. The cwl channels and the hood gasket channels are some of the standard spots that need to be fixed. Most salvaged parts that were unrusted were used 10-20 years ago. If there are unrusted cowls they are on garage queens that aren't being parted. The blue parts shown can be repaired to what you need. Here's pictures of some parts that I salvaged for similar repairs, but they don't go over to the washer squirter holes so are not what you want either. They do show the same amount of repair that you'll likely have to make to re-use salvaged parts. What you've asked for may take a while, or you can fix what's available.
