10. Ensure the trim piece at the leading edge of the hood is clean and dry. Wipe with an automotive surface cleaner and dry with a soft
cloth or paper towel. Before removing the protective liner, center the 55
” length of “D” gasket on the trim piece to determine where it will
be located. It should be centered and sit at the very back edge of the trim, right against the hood.
See illustration.
Once the location is
determined, remove the protective liner and carefully lay the
“D” gasket in place.
***TIP*** Peel only a small length of the backing
and lay the end of the “D” gasket in place, then peel and stick as you move down the length of the gasket.
“Wet out” the gasket
from one end to the other to ensure it is adhered properly to the surface.
