Windshield Weatherstripping
Just wondering if anyone's seen this issue with their front window. I'm not sure what is going on...if the weatherstripping has lost it's adhesive or if there's another problem. Any recommends on how to fix this?

I believe SG Lou just dealt with this a while back. Search for his thread on it or send him a PM.

Perfect! I was searching "weather stripping" and "windshield"...who knew I need to search for "cowl" and "rubber". I like the idea of using the walmart door material. Is there any articles on how to remove the cowl on a C5?

Not worth gluing it, IMO--the problem is that the rubber shrinks over the years, which causes it to pull away from the plastic. Mine was over an inch shorter than the cowl when I removed it, so even if I glued it in the middle, there would be big gaps on the ends.
I recently spotted this stuff at O'Reilly and decided to give it a try: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b...s37203/2519099
It fits well and looks good.
