Yes, I purchased that part from Gene last year at Carlisle. Looks exactly like the side seal. Looks great, like it was meant to be there.

The part # I have from a previous search is 10404247. On their site it lists the description as follows:

Collision Catalog - Chevrolet/Geo
Hood - Hood and components - Hood - Seal Side Back 1997 - 2004

Is this the part I need for the FRONT of the engine compartment?

You are correct here that is not what you want. I bought that and it is a totally different type and style of weatherstrip seal. You want the one for the side and cut it to size (you have to cut the one from Ecklers too).

Yes that is th correct part number.

The GM part affixes to the side not the bottom and it behaves more like a flap then a full seal. Check out your exisiting seal on the sides. It mounts about 1/8" below the lip.

Been there done that. I have the GM part on now. Threw away the other one.
