Mine was cracked as well, I think from a combination of sun and old age. I tried to repair and paint it to match the car but ended up just throwing it out along with tearing out the windshield wiper assembly. I'm selling the windshield wiper stuff if anyone is interested. I don't plan on replacing the cowl vent cover.
