sealed the hood. - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, partnumber of the one you used would be great! Great Idea, but what about the gap by the headlights?

Aothachos · 10-28-2008, 12:59 PM

i would so do this deffinatly

Just came in from looking at mine....for those wanting to do this try the rubber seal used on the cowling to seal the hood. Pulled mine and dry fitted. Plastic pins already there and when centered and with a few drilled holes....bingo. Don't imagine that trim piece would be to much and saves time. Just head to the dealer.

I did a search for the rubbeer seal for the cowl to hood and the following is the part number: 53383B SEAL, HOOD TO COWL TOP
53383-52050 NCP91 1 $16.28. Is this the part you are referring to, Klink10? I found the info at www.toyodiy.com My car is a 2007 5 door Canadian RS so the part number may vary but check this site out and enter your car info.

that seal is not as sturdy. you will need more clips to hold it in position.

It'll probably look better on a dark coloured car than one of the lighter-coloured cars. The rubber strip would probably be quite obvious in the gap between the bumper and bonnet.

Hey Rockland, u mentioned the camry part could prolly be trimmed. Is that rubber flexible enough to bend to the shape of the Yaris hood where it would put? Did I DIY thread get started for this yet? How much and where to get that camry part so we can do this also if we don't have access to an old nissan layin around...

kou · 10-28-2008, 01:40 PM

the idea started with the new camry. they have the hood seal which rockland is taking about.

ChinoCharles · 10-28-2008, 02:09 PM

Nice. Keep this thread rolling... more info! More info!

Stoln · 10-28-2008, 02:21 PM

Kou,

What Nissan did you borrow the seal from. Hopefully you remember this since the part number is not on the tip of your tongue.

kou · 10-28-2008, 02:25 PM

i found 2 #'s i am going to check at nissan which it is so that i can see the image to make sure its the right one. get the info up later.

Stoln · 10-28-2008, 03:08 PM

Awesome, thanks for getting this info for us, maybe you could do a DIY of the one you did so we can see where you drilled and how you managed to bend it to match the curves of the car

Thej3sta2 · 10-28-2008, 04:05 PM

IsLNdbOi · 10-28-2008, 05:57 PM

Too bad they don't make white rubber strips like this...

kou · 10-28-2008, 05:58 PM

i dont think it would look as bad as the gap.

marcus · 10-30-2008, 03:15 PM
