I noticed water in my floorboad so I went to the dealer and they had to order the part from Jackson, MS. I paid my $9, got the part today, and attempted it today. whoo hoo.
I want to share that the two plastic cowl retainers BROKE. lol. I had to pry them out with two flathead screwdrivers and they just snapped and broke off in there. So maybe you should add that happens.
I head down to the auto zone and after going back two times I finally got a size to work. A 1/2" nylon retainer. After much hammering I got one of them in beautifully. The other one cracked but we ended up making that one work too lol.
So anyways, I don't know if you can get the proper retainers that go in there but I just wanted to share my experience. I hope the leak is fixed; it seems fool proof anyway.
Great write up
