[IMG][/IMG]

now,i am not sure which way it fits to the cowl itself

is it like this...........

[IMG][/IMG]

or does it fit some other way?


When i had the truck painted the painter removed the old one so i didnt see how it went....


these are the clips i have to secure the seal.....

The seal itself i think is made by Fargo.


May seem obvious or silly but i would just like to make sure i get it right.


Many thanks in advance

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal help

as stated pic #2 is correct
those clips are junk, i tried to use them and mostly they just broke
i have 2 clips on each end and just use weather strip glue to fasten it down

i must have been lucky Ogre....because the clips went in fine with a little tap from the handle of rubber handled hammer.....

however,i shall keep an eye on them and see how they go.
