I replaced the rear spark plugs & wires on my 3.8l T&C AWD by reaching up from underneath once (never doing that again). I was able to reach the top of the valve cover, but it was a tight squeeze and quite a stretch.
In other words, taking the wiper cowl off was the best advice. It's probably possible to reach them all otherwise, but it's really not worth the effort. The wiper cowl comes off in 15-20 minutes.
