So, what is going on here with my windshield seal?
I noticed this a while ago and it has gotten worse over the past couple months.

The lower seal is part of the cowl cover and you have to replace the cowl cover to fix the issue.

....It got old, the adhesive went away and the rubber shrank !! You 'might' be able to take it off and silicone or cement it back in place, but time and the elements have taken it's toll !!...

I replaced my stock cowl right after I bought the car with a hydrocarbon unit. I should still have my original I removed in the box. I would need to check.
