Default 1995 XJS wiper cowl removal.
Does anybody know how to remove the Windshield wiper Cowl on a 1995 jaguar XJS?
Ive removed the two Torx screws but the cowl grill won’t budge and I don’t want to break it.

There are two tall plastic bolts which are quite small and located at the top near where the wiper arms connects.

Sweet. I’ll take a look. I’m having the jag wrapped in red chrome and that grill needs to come out. I’ll head up to the wrap shop and see if I can get it out.
I’ll post Picts if it doesn’t work.

Red chrome? I'm both intrigued and horrified at the same time.

many a purest will cringe at anything but the 12 accepted colours. This is the red chrome on a (ugh) Mercedes.

I’m not sure if you can wrap wheels in it. I have Wire 15’s so I won’t be wrapping those.
