I got mine from Classic Parts also. No Issue. I cant invision it being so stiff that it holds the hood up. (Not saying it isnt
. ) Mine was nice and pliable. Just wondering before we parts bash, this seal goes UNDER the Cowl. Couple of things, was any of you guys hoods adjusted to the cowl WITHOUT a seal installed? Could let the cowl ride lower in that case. Cowl can be slightly shimmed if the hood wont adjust down..
Also if the hood was adjusted to far forward towards the cowl lip, may lift it a little with the seal there.
Those seals just seam wimpy to be causing all this. Check all adjustments. Or tell me to buzz off you dont know what your talking about! Im ok with that too
. Just trying to help.
