Abstract

An automotive cowl cover includes a first wall and a second wall disposed from the first wall, the first and second walls defining opposing sides of a channel configured for receiving an edge of a windshield, and a tapered shim having a non-uniform height extending from the first wall toward the second wall. The defined channel can engage an edge of the windshield of the automobile.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a cowl cover for a motor vehicle, and more particularly to an apparatus for securing a cowl cover to an edge of a windshield of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] A conventional motor vehicle includes a cowl cover mounted to the bottom edge of the vehicle's windshield. Cowl covers are typically made of molded plastic and may be of unitary construction, or may consist of multiple connectable parts, depending on the requirements of a particular application. The cowl cover may be mounted to the windshield of a motor vehicle with clips mounted to the underside of the cowl cover. The cowl cover is held against the outer surface of the windshield by engaging the clips with corresponding projections protruding from the upper bulkhead area of ​​the vehicle. However, due to various manufacturing tolerances of the associated components, this method of installation does not produce a consistently tight, gap...
