Windshield Wiper Cowl Top Panel For 2008-2023 Dodge Challenger OEM

Fitment covers the full 2008-2023 Challenger lineup, spanning SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack, SRT, Hellcat, and Demon trims. This particular part number, 05028757AH / 5028757AH, is the current, updated version of the component and is a direct replacement for the earlier part numbers 5028757AD, AE, AF, and AG, meaning it supersedes multiple prior revisions.

As a genuine Mopar OEM component, the panel is developed strictly to Dodge's original factory design standards. It's molded from a weather-resistant plastic engineered for strong UV resistance and dimensional stability, so it won't fade or warp under prolonged outdoor exposure, and the design includes access doors along with a factory seal against the engine bay, forming a complete barrier against water and dust while still allowing the wiper system and HVAC intake to function normally; it ships in a ready-to-install black finish with no additional coating required.

Because it's built to OEM standards, the screw holes and clip channels line up exactly with the factory mounting points, so installation is a direct, no-modification swap that reconnects cleanly with the car's original sealing performance. Functionally, the panel is a genuine barrier between rainwater and the engine bay, protecting the wiper motor, linkage, and surrounding wiring from rust and moisture damage, and as a key piece in the cowl area it also plays a role in front-end airflow management and helps maintain the engine bay's sound insulation.

Installation uses the car's existing mounting points and clips, typically requiring the wiper arms and side fasteners to be removed first, with a plastic trim tool and socket set making the job considerably easier; several aftermarket alternatives are also available with the same fitment if a non-OEM option is preferred. It's the right upgrade whenever prolonged sun and rain exposure has caused the factory panel to warp, lift, or develop broken clips, whenever an HVAC odor or damp carpet points to a failed seal, or as part of a broader engine bay cleanup during used-car reconditioning, where restoring the panel is a genuinely high-value, low-cost step toward a more finished, better-sealed engine bay.
