Hi. Has anyone replaced the drivers side upper cowl air vent piece? They’re finally making replacement panels. Wondering how it comes off. Spot welds, etc.

Yes lots of spot welds, and old seam sealer.

Propane torch and a wire wheel in a drill along the seams works well to show where the spot welds are to drill them.
