    Hey guys, as of late waters been leaking into the florboards on the passenger side of my car. I went and followed this thread :

    http://www.grandprixforums.net/water...-fix-6961.html

    And at the end im trying to put the ccowl back on. I can get it on but it doesnt fit snuggly to my windshield. Theres slight humps creating openings along the windshield/cowl.

    Should i be worried about this considering theres not a rain water drain under it installed? Should i get a sealant? Or just a new cowl in general since mine may be bent?

    Here's picture

    even if the cowl fit snug, it doesn't keep water out, just a diverter.. try maybe hitting it with a heatgun/hairdryer, get it warmed up a bit to flex it back down.
