[QUOTE="TRBO VNM, post: 11097805, member: 14678"] Definitely need to be careful. If you think the age is why it cracked, think again. Brand new will crack just as easy with minimal bending. If you look at the a-pillars, there is a 8mm bolt/screw head that you need to remove on both sides or maybe just one side. It is down in the door jam. Then there are three plastic push pins, but I have never seen a car come from the factory with all three in place. You also have the rubber seal between the hood and cowl panel to pull up. I use a plastic door panel popper and go along the windshield under the rubber/plastic edge and pop the clips up. you will see where they are when you get the new one. Then you need to carefully bend it up a little while pulling the a-pillar away and get one end out and it will come right out. Take your time and be very careful. Also remember the sprayer hoses. the new panel does not come with them or the nozzles. And it is not $100 anymore. I lucked out at my local dealer, but they had them listed at closer to $200 and were on national backorder when I needed one. [/QUOTE]
