Wiper Cowl Removal
1988 F150 302w AOD
I can’t for the life of me find a video showing how to take the wiper cowl off. I got all the screws out, wiper blades removed, I can’t get the antenna part to come out and don’t know how to get under it.
My floorboards are wet when I use the AC.

Pop the chrome cover off the base of the antenna, there's 4 screws underneath it.
But I don't think you're going to find anything under the wiper cowl that has anything to do with the A/C. You've probably got a blocked drain on the evaporator.

I cleaned out the drains on both sides behind the wheel well and my antenna reached the ac drain tube from the front of the truck. Nothing noticeable at the ac drain tube, but some debris came out of the drains for the wiper valence

I just had mime off. once you get the antenna disconnected and the washer hose unhocked it will come off with a bit of juggling. It would be easier with two people one on each side of the truck. FYI the washer hose is connected to a barbed fitting, so with a pair of bent nose pliers you can just pull it off. Remember when you reasemble
it the hose goes behind the washer motor and needs to be connected after the cowl is back in position.

Do you need to take the fenders off to remove the cowl? I need to take mine off an 88 and I don't have a clue.
