Just found the cure!
I just found the cure. Hood to cowl seal. I have ordered four seals from different vendors. All the seals were"L" shape, not a curved "U", round shape. I tried everything to make it be curved. Heavy books on it for a two weeks. Clothes pins, heat and shutting it the hood for weeks nothing worked. All the aftermarket part suppliers have the same rotten seal. I even tried Precision Restoration they had the right picture on thier site but I got substituted with the same "L" seal. The seal that worked was from Sofft Seal. Cheaper and it worked, $22 bucks with shipping.

Re: Just found the cure!
Just got my new Soffseal Hood to Cowl Seal in the mail. Fits well. Hood closes properly too. Never closed properly with the "L" shaped seal.
Soffseal is on the LEFT.
