The Precision Cowl Fastener Clip 5103 002 is an OEM-style cowl retainer designed to secure the windshield cowl panel and related trim. It provides a reliable, low-profile fastening point that prevents panel vibration, reduces water intrusion at the base of the windshield, and restores factory fitment. Constructed from a durable, weather-resistant polymer, this clip offers long-lasting performance and easy push-in installation for repair or restoration projects.
Features:
- Durable, weather-resistant engineered polymer construction for long service life.
- Secures windshield cowl panel and trim to prevent vibration and rattles.
- Helps maintain proper sealing and alignment around the base of the windshield.
- Push-in design for quick, tool-assisted installation or removal.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 10-20 minutes
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake, and open the hood.
- Use a trim tool or flathead screwdriver to gently pry up and remove the damaged or old clip from the cowl mounting hole.
- Clean the mounting hole and surrounding area of dirt, debris, and old adhesive to ensure proper seating.
- Align the cowl panel or trim so the mounting hole lines up with the body panel hole.
- Push the replacement clip straight into the mounting hole until you hear or feel it snap into place. Use pliers for a firm, controlled push if necessary.
- Verify the cowl panel is seated evenly and that the clip holds the panel without excessive movement. Replace additional clips as needed.
