Chip,

Today is about 85 here in Hendersonville, NC! Pretty warm for the 3rd
of July. Anyway, my wife said why don't you fire up the leaf blower
and play wind-tunnel with the car.

She sat inside and I hefted the (electric) blower hrer and there
around the offending area.

I was just about to give up when I while I was blowing at the side of
the driver's pillar, I saw the rubber moulding start to flutter and my
wife started to make frantic hand signals. I had foud something, but
the main culprit was about 6" higher up. When I moved the air stream
up, we found the "G" above "Middle C" Whooooooooo.

Now that I see the location I also see what you mean about cutting off
the inner lip. It would be Very difficult to try to "glue" the edge of
strip down and get the inner flap in place at the same time.

Did you just lift the outter edge of the strip and reach in with
x-acto knife and cut off the inner flap? Let me know the details if
you would.

I very much appreciate your answering my call for HELP!

Yo did good!

Happy New Year from two NOW very happy Odyssey owners!!!!
