    Just wondering out loud whether a "P" seal attached to the inner edge of the boot cowl that butts up against the windshield might work. You'd need to have a bit of pressure against the seal to compress it to form a water resistant seal. I haven't got to this point yet (couple of weeks off) so not too familiar with the geometry but would it be possible to put screws through the boot cowl and windshield into anchor nuts bonded to the inside surface of the windshield ?.

    Does velcro make a waterproof seam? Has anyone tried it? Just thinking out loud.

    Velcro is not water proof. It will resist flow through it temporarily. In my experience, water weakens the bond between the two surfaces. I have lost stuff while SCUBA diving this way.
