Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks. In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the wiper cowl cover in this 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
Here are the items you'll need for this repair: T25 Torx Drivers, side cutters
Remove the wiper arms from the truck. You have to lift up. Small tab here that you take out with your thumb. It simply lifts off the splines. Using a T25 Torx bit ratchet and extension, remove the T25 Torx screws on both ends of the wiper cowl. Open your hood.
We're going to use a pair of side cutters to remove all of these plastic snap clips here. It makes them a lot easier to pry out. What you want to do is open them up, slide them underneath, and close down without cutting. Simply work it back and forth. Repeat this for the remaining clips all the way down the bottom of the wiper cowl.
We'll also remove this clip on the insulation. Pull that back. Lift up on the weather strip here. That simply pulls off. Now we can remove the passenger side of our wiper cowl. Disconnect the windshield washer lines there. Remove the remaining three clips. Take off our driver's side. Remove the wiper cowl cover.
Reinstall your wiper cowl. Reconnect to your plastic clip connectors. Reconnect the washer hoses. Snap them down into the retainers. Reinstall plastic clips. Lay this deadening material back across. Stick this harness retainer in and the other clip. Lay the weather strip across the bottom of the cowl. Snap it onto its retainer in the middle here. Close your hood. Reinstall the two Torx screws at the rear of the cowl. Reinstall the wiper arms onto the splines.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

Stuck in the house (shelter in place) wipers were acting up for months . Ram 1500 is a 2004, decided to replace the unit as well as the linkage ( I have the luck that if I just replaced the motor the linkage would fail in another month ). Watched the video to see what I was in for. Complete job start to finish took me an hour and twenty minutes.Great part, fit , function , video and company. Keep up the good work and thank you !
Works!
