Golden Era Parts Windshield Cowl Hardware Kit - 1988-1991 Honda Civic / CRX (EF)
Pull the cowl panel off your EF Civic or CRX and there's a good chance half the clips are broken, the screws are rusted, and the caps are either cracked or missing entirely. It's one of those things you don't notice until you're there, and then you're at the parts store trying to find something that fits and coming up empty. Honda stopped making these years ago, and generic hardware just doesn't sit the way the factory stuff did. Golden Era Parts put this kit together to fix that, the correct clips, screws, and caps, all built to OEM spec, so the cowl goes back on the way it came off.
What's Actually In The Kit
You get seven of everything you need: seven nylon clips with EPDM gaskets, seven metric screws, and seven ABS cowl caps. That's the full set for one cowl, so you're not hunting down the right quantity or mixing parts from different sources. The clips replicate Honda PN 91517-SH3-003, the screws replicate PN 93903-444G0, and the caps replicate PN 60658-SB3-000. All three of those have been discontinued by Honda, so this kit is one of the only ways to get proper replacements.
Injection Molded, Not 3D Printed
Worth calling out because it matters: these are injection molded components, not 3D printed. Injection molding produces parts with the right material density, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy that the OEM parts had. The ABS caps come with a UV-resistant finish and a texture that matches OEM and SEM Trim Black closely, so when they're sitting in your cowl they look like they belong there, not like something printed in a garage. If you've ever seen 3D printed clips next to real molded ones, you already know why this distinction matters.
One Thing Worth Knowing About The Caps
Here's an honest heads-up before you install these. The caps fit snug in a cowl with sharp, fresh plastic edges, which is how a new OEM cowl would behave. But your cowl is thirty-plus years old, and if the plastic edges have softened or worn down over time, the caps might sit a little looser than you'd like. That's not a defect in the caps, it's just the reality of fitting new parts into an old plastic panel. If that happens on your car, a small dab of silicone on the tab ends of each cap sorts it out. It's a two-minute fix and it locks them in just fine.
Fits These Cars
This kit is built for the 1988-1991 Honda Civic and 1988-1991 Honda CRX, the EF chassis. It also fits various other Honda and Acura models from the mid-80s through mid-90s that use the same cowl hardware, so if you're working on something outside the EF and the clip size looks right, it's worth checking against the OEM part numbers before you order.
