hood weatherstrip
How does the weather strip attach to the hood? My current hood doesn't have any weather strip and today I will be getting a new L88 hood which I don't think has any weather strip either. I bought two of the hood weather strips and was wondering exactly where do they get mounted?

It attaches with weatherstrip adhesive, 3M is a good brand to use. The only weatherstrip on my L-88 hood is along the back edge to the cowl. Is your second weatherstrip the foam strip that goes on top of the radiator support?

no I meant I bought two of the hood weather strips. I wanted to know how it mounts to the underside of the hood and I was planning on using the 2nd piece to run along that section of fibreglass that goes from left to right when you have the hood open. I still have to do a leak test but I get some water on the passenger side floorboard and the "glovebox" area so im thinking it may have to do with the absence of the weather strip to a degree.

Water on the passenger floor sounds more like leaking heater hose or core, or possibly rust holes around the windshield frame.
