How do I remove the lower windshield cowl on a 93 Civic Del Sol? This
is the plastic cover below the windshield. I see how to pull the clips
at the top of the cowl, but many of the clips for the rubber hood
gasket appear to extend into the vent. Do I just pry and snap them
off?

It looks like the prvious owner replaced the windshield and whoever
did it removed the cowl with a crow bar. The sheet metal where the
cowl seals underneath the hood is bent in a number of places. I'm
getting engine compartment air sucked into the cabin as a result. I'd
like to pull the cowl, straighten the sheet metal, and install some
foam weather strip.

What's the best way to get the clips out from the lower edge of the
cowl?

Further background: I bought a 93 Del Sol S with 10k miles in ok
shape. Otoh, it needs a lot of rehab to get it in what I consider
acceptable condition. Y'all may be getting more questions form me in
the next year or two about this car. :-)

I've got a copy of the Civic FSM and the Del Sol FSM is on order.
