Oops...I need to put the car back together first.




Oh...these were one of my finds yesterday at the junkyard. They are in much better shape than mine!

Speaking of hitting a wall...when I used my little plumbing tool on the left side it always brought back out a small bit of fibers attached to the end. So I don't know if that's blockage or that it went somewhere it shouldn't.

Happy to see you aren't .

We all.have bad days. No one knows what each other is currently going through in life. That's why I try my best to be kind and even try to make people laugh when I can.

Hope things are better today Don!

There was a butyl patch on your 2007?


My 07 had a cowl opening like this with no patch


The opening didn’t go to the bottom of the windshield like this

Yes...there was a butyl patch on my 2007. I thought I posted a pic of it when I replaced it. Or when it was still attached.

FYI. For those of you that have the cowl cover off for whatever reason. Here's a little thing you can add to keep leaves and debris from entering the cabin filter area. A piece of window screen to cover the hole. I added this to mine.
The pic in the post above is my car.
This pic below is after I cut and installed a piece of screen.
