Hood water seals?

I just installed the RM twin flow filter and I know that I have seen something about getting an additional hood seal to keep water off of it, I did a search and didn't come up with anything :confused:

Thanks,

Richard

Check in the mall section they are around $12. They won't do anything for performance but will keep water off the filters :cheers:

I ordered one of the factory hood seals that are on the right/left side of the hood, cut it to length and installed it on the front.

Thanks, I guess I am going to have to make sure there is no water on the hood when opening as well because looking at it the water would drip right on to the twin flow filter. I have an extra factory hood seal that I ordered thinking that it would be the right one :D :D

ditto!!! much better quality than the aftermarket seals (JMHO) i originally purchased an aftermarket seal while at mid-america funfest last year. well the cheap double sided tape didn't hold up very well multiple washings. anyway, i went to my local chevy dealer and purchased the same seal used on the RH/LH hood opening, trimmed to fit and installed on my 2000 coupe. works great, looks factory, and looks great!!!

I got mine thru Mid America. It really makes a difference in keeping the engine compartment clean.

You can get the seal at auto parts stores and use 3M adhesive.

Re: Hood water seals? (C5 in 2002)

I got the aftermarket hood seal and removed the tape that came with the seal.

I then put my own double sided take on both sides and then attached the seal. Works well so far. I have had it on for about 3 months.
