The Chevrolet Cobalt sedan features wide grooves along the outer edges of the jabot area. In fact, the shape of the wiper housing can be seen through the left side, appearing almost as a trapezoid peeking from behind the trim.
To shield this area from rain, dust, and other weather, a plastic strip was fitted into the groove. A segment of rubber sealant was then carefully cut to match the top profile and pressed into place. The result is a neat, protective seal that helps keep moisture out of the slot and reduces the chance of grime building up inside the gap.
With the strip in place, the trapezoidal hinges gain extra longevity. The added barrier minimizes exposure to the elements, which translates to fewer signs of wear over time and a more resilient edge that can stand up to routine car wash cycles and daily exposure to climate changes.
