i drilled through the plastic piece and the firewall.
as for the cowl...remove that pice of weather stripping above the fireall, and remove the plastic screws holding the cowl in place. then if you open your door...there should be a bolt behind it near the fender...removing it allows the outer side windshield trim to move just enough to get the wiper cowl off. Not only is the cowl screwed on, but its initially held by snap clips. Take your time...pull a little up at a time working from one side to the next...just try not to flex the cowl too much on any given side...they have a little give, but not much.
removing those bolts behind the door (above the hinges, 1 on each side) and moving those outer windshield (a piller) makes it super easy....I will see if i can get you a pic of it if you need it. hope that helps!
