hood seals
I'm looking for a set of hood seals - left and right side. I'm referring to the rubber blocks found on the early C4 Corvettes located near the door hinges.
On the driver's side, its the rubber piece that has to be moved away to remove the upper front fender bolt for battery replacement.
The link below shows the hood seal blocks I'm referring to on a red C4......look near the right of the battery. Apparently, GM stopped installling them sometime in the mid 90s. I want a set.

Can anyone tell me the part numbers, or where to locate a set?
Thanks !

I'm gonna' install a set on my 1996. I rode in an 84' model, and in my opinion, there was less road noise from the front tires.....supposedly the seals help to dampen vibration, and absorb a little sound. (I like the way they look too)
I already ordered a used set from a salvage yard. I was told they would fit all C4 Corvettes, from 1984 to 1996.
From the one photo I saw with them installed, it appeared there was also a top, horizontal piece, but I can't confirm that. (if there is, I might be screwed)
Apparently, the seals are merely held into place by a type of plastic push-in retainer. I will have to improvise something to attach them.
