    I see nothing that would be holding up my stock cowl...
    The only thing I can think of is maybe it was warped up a bit and I never noticed it in the past?
    I'm at a loss...
    Anyway, we had quite a bit of rain day b4 yesterday, and my floorboard is dry as a bone!
    Thanks again!!!

    I guess that's possible, but if you are like me with your GP as I am with mine, you probably already know every little flaw beforehand. I guess with the wiper in the park position though, it does kinda hide the edge from direct view. I have seen cowls warp slightly over time, but your car is new enough that I wouldn't have thought that would be the case. Plus, the round retainer with the slot in it usually holds it down. I guess you could try loosening that retainer just a bit and see if that helps. The only thing I can think of is that with the original rubber deflector now gone, it might be possible to push that retainer down a little too far causing the cowl to sorta teeter-totter on the edge of the windshield glass and stick up just a little in that area. Again, this is just toatally a guess.
