    Help w/replacing Cowl Vent Panel (windshield cowling)

    It's been over a year since I've taken my VX apart and so a few things I couldn't remember without researching first.

    I've powder coated the Cowl Vent Panel (the metal plate at the base of the windshield) along w/wiper arms and now need to replace them but it feels like there was more to it than just putting in a few screws, like maybe a seal is missing or something around the cowl. I've looked at IPL's and the CD, and looked at Merlin's site and have searched the group for pics but have been unsuccessful. The images really don't show much unless there really is nothing more to it than just screw it on. I just really need a few good pics to show me what goes where.

    Can anyone email/text a pic so that I can see how this is supposed to be reattached? Are there seals/pads? Anything other than just screwing it back on?

    I appreciate anyone that can help

    Had my windshield replaced last week.

    My observation was 4 screws, 3 plastic push-in plugs and you're done.

    There is a rubber "seal" that runs across the top of the panel and just slides over the edge.
