91 teg cowl seal
Hey all, in the midst of replacing blower motor and flap actuator due to cowl water leak. I am also fixing the leak. I have replaces those little white plastic plug things and made a new lower cowl seal from weatherstrip tape as suggested. My questions are this. The upper cowl (the one that goes around hood hinges and seals to windshield) needs the rubber seal that seals to the bottom of the windshield. Mine is all jacked up amd falling off. Can this be replaced? Where is it available if so? Or should I just leave it off or use some weatherstrip tape there too? Also those funny Philips head bolt thingys that hold the cowl down to the threaded stud's at base of wind shield....does anyone sell those?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: 91 teg cowl seal
Man, I had the same issue. I ended up taking a bunch of silicone and rubbing it on the rubber (now days they may as well be plastic from dry rot) pieces around the hinges. I also used black adhesive silicone on all my plastic clips and just rubbed it any other place I thought water would get in, or the cowl was damaged. I also had my windshield replaced recently and the guy doing it was being super careful to keep all my OEM peices because he said no one makes them anymore! He told me I was lucky I still had most of them! (I was lucky enough to have a donor car). Other than that, I ran a strip of tape, about 1/4 inch above the cowl on the windshield and rubbed black silicone on there too, making sure it got under the cowl. Peel the tape while its still wet. I'd recommend looking for a few junk tegs and just start popping cowl pieces off because youll need them in the future anyway!
