I just removed mine and made a cover for the ac intake so it wouldn't leak.

As I recall you will have to first remove the finishers on either side of the windscreen. If they are original parts you may want to go ahead and replace them with new ones as the tabs underneath where metal mounting clips sit will often break off as all that black plastic gets brittle with age. Getting even new finishers back on is a challenge as you have to twist them hard and push them at just the right angle and hard enough to get the metal clips to stay in place. Typical LR engineering!

You will also have to remove the wipers and possibly have to loosen the mounting bolts for the hood to slide it forward a bit.

I have to do the same. Every time I get a car wash the passenger side floor gets wet.
Let us know how it goes!

That's the best price I have seen, if it is not fiberglass. I ordered a fiberglass one in the past and its not a perfect fit also the paint cracks and chips easily. I fixed that by plastidipping the cowl. Let us know how it goes. If the quality is good I'll order it from them for my future project.
