Is this a bad thing?

Found a gap in the weatherstripping by the bottom of the windshield--right about in the middle. Has anyone else noticed this about their 'Stang? If so, what possible harm could come from it???

That may just be a seam in the cowl/windshield contact. The actual windshield is sealed much farther below and the gasket should be "internal" meaning water doesn't collect at the gasket. It just runs down the windshield and into a drainage area.

Exactly.
Anyone changed the cabin air filter? The drivers side just flips up, its not mean to keep all the water from getting down there.
