Thank you
Please please PLEASE read the whole thread.

Do not just replace the weatherstrip. It is a bandaid at best.
If you have this issue, the best solution is to replace the intake manifold gaskets *and* the cowl to reduce as much water as possible.

If you *really* just want the gasket, might as well just buy some silicone caulk and caulk the crap out of your windshield and cowl.

I'm a little paranoid about this issue, I just bought my Durango, I noticed the cowl I have on there is the old style, I bought a OEM updated cowl for $100 area shipped, comes complete, just need the push pins to hold it in. I was waiting to install it due to I just had a new windshield put in, then day I had new windshield I returned from shop and cowl was at my doorstep. Even though I have the updated cowl going on, I am going to put some clear silicone under the cowl seal to be extra safe. So far I haven't had a issue with the Durango stalling when wet, but I want to be proactive. I would really like to but a air raid intake tube, remove the Hemi hat and possibly fit a engine cover off a charger or similar vehicle to direct water away better on top or even fab my own, ID rather be safe that look pretty lol

does anyone have the part number for the updated cowl and push pins? is there anything else that would be needed?
