Cowl Seal?
How important is the cowl seal that is glued on between the cowl and hood? Mine is trashed. I've searched without any luck. I rarely find good weatherstripping at the junkyards around here, and I would rather not go to the dealer if it is unnecessary.

I'd think it is mostly for engine noise reduction along with maybe some water run-off protection. The bright side is.....without it, engine compartment heat should "vent" really well.
