has anyone repaired their cowl cracks without the factory repair parts??
i dont think they are avalible any more. my pass side has some cracks in it,i hear it making noise. i know the differant methods to repair this,just wondering if anyone has repaired this issue on their truck.what was your method to repair? did the repair hold up,or did it happen again???
thank you

 

Forgive me for sounding dumb, but when I think cowl, I'm thinking the slotted piece between the windshield and the hood?

 

its the main cowl area under the slotted panel,and behind part of the fender.

 

Ah, ok, I hope mine isn't cracked.

 

well i did my cowl repair yesterday. bought 3m structural adhesive,steel rivets and some 16 gauge sheet steel. it had 2 cracks,did not drive it yet to see if the noise stopped. im letting it set up(dry) good,plus it has been raining out.
would have been alot easier if the repair patches were still available from the dealer. thank you
