Cracked Cowl ???

OK ... someone enlighten me on this. Just got a call from my dealer service reps. They went in to replace the wiper motor to fix the "wacky wiper" problem. He called to say that my cowl is cracked.

I just detailed the engine bay for the show last weekend and didn't notice anything cracked. Service rep says that I probably would not be able to see it anyway.

Wiper motor was replaced last year at a different L-M dealer -- maybe they botched the job or cracked the piece. He says that he will show me when I come to pick up the car tonite. Is this a big deal?? Either way, I think FoMoCo owes me a replacement -- since they are the ones who have been working under there.

Yeah, I bet it was cracked when the motor was put in. Hopefully the dealer didn't pull it off today and crack it, and then go "wow look, that's the problem, his cowl is cracked."

What dealer is it at? Cowles Ford? That sounds supsicious, 'Cowl'es For 'eh...

Mine is cracked also (right side the "ear" that the screw goes thru) and it's never been removed...... something to add to the list for my next dealer visit.

Yep, mine is the passenger side "ear" right at the corner fastener. :( I really don't think that it happened today at the shop. In fact, I may have noticed it earlier and just never worried about it too much. :o

Same here. Had Carfixer replace it about a year ago. Never any wiper/cowl work done to my car.

Kooky.

Can anyone post a pic of exactly what we (I mean you) are talking about here?:o
