'65 Valiant/Barracuda Hood to Cowl Seal Correct Placement?
I have four 1965 Dart assembled i Los Angeles. All of them have the open side towards the front. However I bought a 65 Dart wagon for my son and that moulding was placed with the open area backwards. But of all those LA assembled cars I've seen most cars have had that open area towards the front. Enclosed is a picture of my unrestored Dart Charger.
Back in 1965 Dart, Valiant and Barracuda was the most sold American cars in Sweden. All of the sold A-bodies were assembled at the Hamtramck plant. These cars had a 50/50 mounting of that rubber moulding each way.
So it might be possible that each plant had their own routine.
