loosen front of cowl, no need to completely remove ... slide seal under front of cowl ... line up one of the holes on far side, either side will work ... pull to stretch cowl seal to second hole & install screw ... repeat on every hole until all screw holes line up ... stand back and admire new seal.

What is the purpose of this seal? I'm trying to figure out if I need it, because I'm pretty sure I don't have it right now.
