Default Wiper Cowl Seal

It rained last night and on the passenger side on the floorboard it was soaked with water. Come to find out the seal on the bottom of the windshield is missing allowing all the water to come in.

is there a specific part number to replace that to prevent further water from coming in? I found a seal on eBay but not sure it will work the way I'm thinking and it won't be in until Friday. Hoping to find something before then to prevent it from happening prior. Picture provided to show the issue. Any help would be fantastic.

thanks so much

RTV's just going to make a lot of mess that you're going to have to scrape off later when the replacement seal arrives. In the meantime, you can always make a temporary seal with a cut-to-length piece of rubber strip you can get at the Home Depot and just tuck the cowl in and clip it down to hold the rubber in place.
