Default windshield & cowl ?

Today I notice a small gap on the bottom of my windshield and cowl on the passenger side between the 2 plastic clips. My question is if water run between the windshield and the plastic cowl would it get inside the car or does it flow somewhere else. And the last question is could I use a sealer to glue the plastic piece to the windshield since its only a inch and half?

Does it look like this? (due to the angle, it appears worse than it really is. the gap is about 4mm at its highest point and is about 5 inches long)



It's a common problem. And, no, water won't leak into your car because of this gap.

yes mine looks like that picture but smaller. i know the clips are still strong but with the sun hitting on it all the time it just arch up alittle. my only concern is water getting inside in the car. i would really appreciate if anyone could help me find a good way to fix it before it gets worse.


any windshield expert or installer on HT?

It's bound to happen, really. I have yet to see an EM2 without this issue.
