I tried to install the rubber edging every way possible, and I can't get a good fit. It only fits on the inside of the black grill, or on the outside of the main lid edge. Either way, the big part of the rubber is between the grill and the lid. The rubber body is too short to fit on the outside of the grill edge.
This is causing the grill not to seat into the lid, even when flexing (read, almost bending) the grill to get the pins to fit. Pictures...Words...How does it go? I can't find a pix anywhere on the www with your rubber installed on the engine lid. Thanks Bill NEVER MIND (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I FIGURED IT OUT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Mikey's rubber strip fits Sooo Goooood, between[b] the grill and the center of the lid only. I was trying to put it on the outside edges. (with a little mod, this could be a great outside edge strip too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) |

You do need to trim to fit, but here are the pictures I have. I will be doing my deck lid this weekend and will post more detailed pictures.
