Who has bought the aftermarket front hood seal? this question is for you. I did my instal on wed and now my hood barely is able to close. Should i just give it time under pressure to settle or did i make a huge problem with the aftermarket one? andrew in the Soo |

Did you glue the seal in?
I don't glue the seals in anymore as I believe that the glue can help to promote rot, and I can pull my seal out and clean the dirt out of the channel when I want to. All the front hood seals that I have used made it hard to close the hood for a some time until the seal "relaxed" enough. Stick with it. |
