I have a 2000 XJ. The grill work under my windshield wipers is toast. It holds the nozzles for the washer fluid and is the same color as the rest of the truck. What is this part called and does anyone have a part number? I have looked online several times and have not been able to find it.

I am new as can be to this forum but it has been a great resource to rebuilding my old XJ. Thank you.

I think it's called the cowl plenum cover.

^^ I just call it the cowl area for short but ol'blue is correct.

Cowl

I thought it was an air dam. I could be wrong. but thats what I have always heard it called.

When I hear Air dam, I think chin spoiler.

Haha me too

Aren't airdams located on the bumper?

Yeah I thought that was that plastic piece under our bumpers everyone takes off lol

In the winters I call it a F%&*#@ ice catcher.. wish the cabin air intake could be anywhere but there

It is the COWL, hence "cowl induction" hoods. Lets the air in, or out near the cowl.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the answers. I found it in the parts manual although the part number has changed the local dealer was able to find it. It is named "Grill, Cowl Panel" and is part number 55008 832AC. It does not include the black screen underneath it, that is an additional part. I didn't get it, I just want my washer fluid to hit the windshield, not the roof.

hit up some salvage yards if you can get it from a dealer it would be crazy expensive
