The steering column floor boot helps keep your Camaro firewall sealed off from the elements and noxious engine vapors. Over time, this weatherstrip can crack and allow nasty stuff to come into the passenger compartment. So, look down at your carpet firewall guard and make sure your steering column floor boot is not cracked and replace it with this high quality reproduction part from Rick's Camaros.
My original seal was broken and I thought it was supposed to be plastic. Apparently it was just brittle from being old. The aftermarket part is much better.
