Hey guys, I've been running my dart without a hood to cowl seal. Noticed the other day the hood was rubbing some paint, so I ordered the hood to cowl seal. This thing shows up with some small metal clips. Does anybody know how to install those with the weather strip?
Thanks guys!
 
The cowl seal i ordered from from DMT had the clips (stainless steel at that) already installed to the seal
 
I had the same issue awhile back & searched the forum & found instructions I think.

Could you describe how they were installed? :)

I’d have to pop the seal with the clip in it out of the cowl to see how the clip is installed. I can do that tomorrow if you don’t get a more definitive answer tonight or early tomorrow

I'm looking, but am having a hard time finding info. I'll let you know if I find it before tomorrow!
 
Search on the forum for Hood to cowl seal install. Really good thread.

Have any of you bought this seal that wasn't shipped rolled up ?
The one I got was never any good as I couldn't get it to straighten out so it kept pulling the clips out

You mentioned the hood was rubbing paint. On the cowl or underside of the hood? Regardless, that seal is thick and curious if you install it, the hood may not close properly.

The hood was rubbing close to the corners, on the cowl part, hood looked okay. I have not installed it yet. But I will post pics when I do!
