NOTE:
This sealing procedure applies to both left and right sides.

1. Open the hood.





2. Locate the "A" pillar outer panel and cowl panel seaming area at the base of the "A" pillar.





3. Lift up the lower end of windshield glass molding to obtain space for sealant application.





4. Clean the sealant application area on both the left and right sides of the vehicle (fender removed in photo for clarity).





5. Apply clear sealant along the seam line between "A" pillar panel and cowl panel from the engine compartment as shown in the photo.
