M38A1 Cowl Seal

Post by delta31 » Tue May 24, 2022 7:44 am

I just replaced the cowl seal in between the windshield and cowl. I bought new stainless #8 x 1/2" screws.
I installed it using the holes in the new seal and the existing holes in the bottom of the windshield frame.
The seal is not fitting as well as i would like along the from bottom of the windshield. Should I have made new holes in the seal?
Thanks

If you compare the old seal to the new seal --- are they the same (holes, shape, dimensions, and all)?
Just asking in case you got the wrong one, or defective --- neither of which is uncommon nowadays.
