My piece is 44 in. long with 11 short flat head screws that can screw in flush with the rubber strip. There are 11 screws with the center screw on the apex of the curve in front of the cowl vent. I put just a tiny dab of clear silicone in each screw hole to help hold the rubber in place. The end of the weatherstrip is 3 1/2 in. from the side of the cowl where it curves downward and the two pieces of sheet metal meet on the side of the cowl. I'm pretty sure Mike ("Kube") knows for sure.
