Windshield-Dash Seal
Hello everyone. I replaced my windshield a few weeks ago and I can hear the engine breathing from inside the car.
I was wondering if this could be due to me not installing the seal that goes between the bottom of the windshield and the dashboard?
Thank you.

I stuffed a towel and a shirt in between the dash and the glass and the sound was significantly reduced!
Is there a way I can use a piece of foam from the arts and crafts store to stuff in there and possibly glue it in?
Or does anyone know of an alternative to trying to hunt down an OEM seal?
Thanks!

Just a warning ... be real careful pushing up on the windshield from the inside.
I cracked mine with just the back of my hand, pulling out my dashboard pad.
Might be like an eggshell is strong pushing from the outside but weak from the inside out?
Don't want to have to replace yours again

Daniel, I took a picture of the bottom seal on my old windshield.
The glass is face glued to a very large and uneven surface on the frame.
GM put a lot of sealer on the bottom to bridge all the gaps, and I had a heck of a job cutting through it all.
I would make a probe out of plastic sheet (or cardboard) and go along the bottom of the windshield to make sure they sealed it all the way across. Especially on the two bottom corners.
