Yes, that part fits, following the instructions in this post. The '00-'05 body is all the same and most of it a match for the '06-'07 (few changes, but not many).
I did this same fix to my '04 Monte. Took about 10 minutes. Super easy to do and cheap.

When I bought my Monte, found a odd piece of weather stripping in the back floor, glad I saved it.
wet passenger floor and learned where the stray stripping belonged, hooked it back on and all good since then

That strip has a habit of falling off, hence why this part from GM is a little more favorable, as it can't fall off. And amazingly, this part from GM is dirt cheap (like $4 or something silly like that when I bought mine).

HI just found your post. very detailed and nicely done. I was an auto parts clerk for 30 years in the aftermarket and MB. OK i have a 2004 Monte Carlo SS, for the past 3 years. I noticed a load of water on passenger side floor ,after a soaker of a rainstorm. I have a feeling that this is not the first time this car had water inside it. Anyway i looked up the OEM part for GM 15794785 and it lists for 2006-7 montes only. My question, do you know if this part will fit on 2004 Monte windshield?

According to GM parts cataloging, the modified water deflector panel was a standard part on 2006-7 models. Took GM that long to resolve an originally poor design. I replaced the rubber seal, with the water deflector about a month ago, no water on the passenger side floor after that during rain.
