Hood Seal Kit

[SaerinRhoe]

Hi folks,

I did a search on hood seal kit on the forums to see if anyone else had asked about this and it didn't come up so I thought I'd go ahead and ask.

What is a Hood Seal Kit for? I saw one listed on the MicroImage website and I've heard it mentioned once or twice before in other places but what purpose does it serve? Is it just a cosmetic mod or does it serve some performance issue? Is it just to prevent rain/car wash water from getting in through the gap?

Thanks,

S.R.

It prevents dirt/dust/etc from getting in between the hood and the bumper. I guess we could call that a cosmetic mod. The seal kit we have (thanks to Ray in New Zealand) is a high quality weatherstrip in a "P" design -- impossible to find at home improvement stores.

Cool :) Thank you for the info.

I think it's a must have mod too. It's both cosmetic and functional and Garm's kit is perfect!! Highly recommended.

Just ordered one from Micro Image, it should keep the engine bay a bit cleaner I hope!!!
