A windshield cowl panel (scuttle panel) is a body component located at the base of the windshield. It is designed to channel water away from the glass, protect the engine bay from moisture and debris, and cover the wiper mechanism and cabin air intake area.

The cowl panel helps prevent water from reaching wiring, control modules, cabin filters, and HVAC components. Its condition directly affects the sealing of the lower windshield area and the durability of under-hood electronics.

A damaged cowl panel may have cracks, warped plastic, broken mounts, or poor sealing against the windshield, which can lead to water entering the engine bay or cabin.

genuine factory cowl panels
