It should be one of those "can't do any harm" deals. If the pressure at the base if the windshield is high enough it will block any flow out. If higher than that, it will force a little cold air in. Removing/installing the seal (at least on the battery side) is fairly easy, so it would be worth a try. If it doesn't work, put the seal back on.

Aren't the HVAC intakes at the bottom of the windshield? I'd be afraid of sucking all that hot air into the cabin.
