Rubber section of cowl

[NRamsey]

This piece of rubber keeps lifting off the glass on my 2012. At highway speeds, it flaps and makes a lot of noise. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix? I've tried windshield adhesive and E6000 glue, but neither have held. Its temping to cut if off!

aren't those tapped into place with a rubber mallet?

If so, I don't see how. I *think* there's a connector missing between the rubber piece I'm holding and the lateral rubber weather strip.

Both sides of mine are disintegrating in the Florida sun. I want to replace the cowl rubber ends but they appear to be part of the $300 cowl cover which I do not want to replace. I have found weather stripping to fix the bottom edge of the windshield but these ends look worse in person vs. photo.

I will cut mine off at the cowl and attempt to find a replacement. I think the Chevy ones are replaceable but doubt they will fit even if modified. There is a piece of rubber that tucks under the end that goes up the windshield about 1 inch as in my photo.

I believe this is the part you're looking for, the gasket appears to be a part of this assembly

Ask Benny if he has a solution.

Cheapest one found. It is aftermarket though. $250 with free shipping.

Pardon Our Interruption...

@swagfu bought one, but, he has not installed yet. Waiting to hear how the install goes and then I'll probably get one.

Hi,
They are part of the cowl grille assembly unfortunately. Perhaps a better adhesive?

I found an adhesive that holds the rubber to the glass - Permatex Ultra Black Gasket Maker. I cleaned both the rubber and glass with brake cleaner, then applied a good amount of the sealant to the rubber and taped it to the windshield for 24 hours. I've traveled about 400 miles and its still holding!
