The Precision Cowl Fastener Clip 5203 004 is a direct‑replacement cowl panel retainer designed to secure the windshield cowl and adjacent trim. It keeps the cowl firmly seated to prevent rattles, reduce vibration, and help seal out water and debris. Built for durability and easy installation, this clip is ideal for repair, restoration, or routine maintenance where OEM-style fastening is required.
Features:
- Direct replacement cowl fastener for common OEM applications (verify fitment with your vehicle part number).
- Made from a durable, high-strength polymer to resist corrosion and UV degradation.
- Secures cowl and trim panels to reduce vibration and eliminate rattles.
- Helps prevent water and debris intrusion at the windshield cowl area.
- Simple push-fit design enables quick installation during restoration or maintenance.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 15 minutes (per clip set / single clip replacement)
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake, and open the hood to access the cowl area.
- If applicable, remove surrounding trim or weatherstrip that obstructs the clip location using a trim tool to avoid damage.
- Carefully pry out the old/failed clip with a trim removal tool or flat-blade screwdriver; use pliers for stubborn clips.
- Clean the mounting hole and surrounding area of debris, rust, or old adhesive so the new clip seats properly.
- Align the cowl panel or trim edge over the mounting hole, position the new clip, and push firmly until the clip snaps or seats flush.
- Reinstall any removed trim or weatherstripping and test the panel for secure fit and absence of movement or noise.
