Upper Cowl Weather Seal for Windshield Base

Keep rain, dust, and wind noise out of the cabin with this OE-profile cowl top weather strip ️. It closes the gap at the base of the windscreen, protecting the engine bay edge, wiring, and the HVAC fresh-air intake from water and debris. Built for tough 4x4 duty, it restores factory fit and quiet.

Why you need it

Without a tight seal, water finds its way into the plenum and cabin, soaking carpets and the blower box. This part prevents leaks, reduces wind whistle, and stops leaves from clogging drains—critical on high-hood off-roaders .

How it works

A molded EPDM rubber lip and rigid spine align with the cowl panel. When the hood closes, the seal compresses against the glass and trim, creating a continuous barrier. Integrated ribs guide runoff to factory drains, while clip points hold it steady at speed ️.

What happens if it’s broken

Expect wet footwells, musty odor, foggy windows, blower squeal, and corrosion on wiper linkages and the firewall. Electrical relays near the bulkhead can short, and wind noise increases. Cracked, shrunken, or loose strips must be replaced to protect the HVAC and electrics .
