Hood to Radiator Support Seal
« on: July 26, 2011 - 06:04:20 PM »
Anyone have a pic of how these things install?  I cannot figure out where the ends attach.  All the pics I have seen show only the center of it and I am missing something when it comes to where the ends attach

This what you're looking for?
1972 Cuda 340 4 barrel 4 speed that looks like a 71
2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona
2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4X4
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (Kidmobile)
1972 Dodge Charger 318 auto
1970 Challenger 440/727 auto
1973 Plymouth Duster 340/auto (Making it Panther Pink for the wife)
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (It doesn't save gas, it just diverts it to the Cuda/Challenger)
In desperate need of more property for my growing Mopar family

Yep...for some reason, I have no holes on the outside ends, but, now that I see, I can fix that!  I appreciate it!

If your original one is in good shape, I'd clean it up and reuse it.  The replacement "Topcat" brand I bought was all deformed from being stuffed in the packaging.  It was also comressed too much and wouldn't have done its job.  My original one cleaned up great with some "Bleach White" whitewall cleaner.  I think it's the same stuff as "Black Magic" tire cleaner....smells the same and takes your breath away just the same.

Unfortunately, there was neither a cowl seal or a radiator support seal on the car...reason I asked...and my hood is a bit different from the one pictured above, but, it helped me insist that the one I bought (Metco) fits...

The pic is of my stock hood. I took a look at my repro shaker and it doesn't have the tabs at the end.
