In this tech article we will install the roof rail and cowl weatherstripping on a first Gen Camaro. The roof rail weatherstripping starts at the front of the door jamb on the body, goes up the A-pillar, across the roof rail above the door and quarter glass, and ends at the rear bottom of the quarter window. The cowl seal fits across the top of the cowl and seals the hood to the cowl. By replacing these seals, it gives the car a tight feel and cuts down on wind noise.
