Genuine Mopar Cowl Top Screen / Cowl Grille — Dodge Charger (2015-2024)

The Cowl Top Screen (commonly referred to as the cowl grille or wiper cowl) is the essential outer plastic panel spanning the base of the windshield where it meets the hood. This structural panel serves as the primary fresh air intake port for your cabin's air conditioning and ventilation system. It is also designed to block leaves, pine needles, road debris, and water from washing down into the lower engine bay or directly fouling the cabin air intake box. As a Genuine OEM Mopar Part, it offers exceptional durability, maintaining structural integrity and resisting fading or cracking under intense desert UV exposure and extreme heat cycles far better than standard aftermarket alternatives.

Technical Specifications

Technical Note: Because of its exposed location, the cowl is constantly subject to rain runoff and direct sunlight, causing the plastic retention points to become brittle. During replacement, the underlying plastic push-pin fasteners or clips are highly likely to snap when pryed loose.

Pro Tip: We strongly recommend sourcing a fresh set of OEM retention clips alongside this cowl screen. Installing the cowl with missing or broken fasteners will lead to annoying high-speed windshield rattling (chatter), and can compromise the weatherstrip seal, allowing rainwater and fine sand to seep directly onto your cabin air filter.
