I've been struggling with the silicone seals on my cowl intakes. After making several adjustments, the seal on the starboard side still refuses to lay down flat and I am wondering whether this is absolutely necessary. It seems like with 100mph + wind entering the intake the seal will flatten. Am I wishful in my thinking, or do I need to make another 'adjustment' so the seal is dead flat when installed? As you can see, it warps up about 1/2" in the center. It is easy to push it down against the baffle.
