Replacing cowl panel

[Mike1919]

Well my windshield is leaking at the top and the cowl is starting to rust at the bottom. I figured before i replace the windshield seal, I should replace the cowl and clean out all the leaves and crap while I'm at it. Problem is, I can't figure out how to get the damn thing off. If someone can get me started i would appreciate it.

Is this on the right place?

It would seem not, but I don't see a better forum. Try posting in "general".
Unlike the f150's I'm used to, the rangers cowl isn't removable without drilling spot welds. The glass has to be out and fenders off to access all spot welds.

Ok thank you. Is it worth fixing for that amount of rust? Also there's a bunch of leaves in it.

That's up to you. You know how capable you are and what the truck is worth to you. I might try removing the glass first and seeing exactly what rust there is. But then you are commited to fixing or selling.

I don't have tools nor experience with removing windshields. I usually take it to a shop and have them replace them. Like i said the windshield has to come out due to the leaking seal but while its out i want to take a look at the rust and see if i could access the spot welds and how much if a hassle it would be for me to do.
