With the sheild installed you would have some problems getting
to the cable ends from above...BUT with the hood locked tight you only have one way ...from the bottom... not really that difficult to do...
Been there done that....lol

Well I ordered one from Mid-America and it came Tuesday UPS. Took about 4 days from the time I ordered it on line. BTW, I put in the special instructions that I was a member of C3VR and expected that they would give me a discount. They knocked 10% off.
It came with a one page instruction sheet and already had double-backed tape on it.
The instructions said to remove the wiper blades and with a buddy, slip the wipers through the holes in the cover. When I did that I discovered an obstruction; the little wire bracket that keeps the wipers from going below the windshield.
Being the impulsive, charge-ahead-first-and-think-about-it-later type of guy, I cut a slot in the cover to clear the bracket.
As soon as I had it properly fitted, I said to myself "You A-hole, why didn't you just remove the bracket? The cover will keep the blades in place."
Oh well, maybe my blunder will help someone else.
It looks good, except for that little notch and the wire bracket. Damn, I may need to buy another one.
Tip: If you turn on the ignition and operate the blades so they are pointing up, then turn the ignition off, the cover goes on easy and it is easy to get at the double-backed tape.
