Hood to Radiator Support Gasket

Postby cv70chall » 16 Feb 2015 13:42

I recently discovered I did not have my hood to radiator support gasket- even though I know I bought one and thought for sure I installed it.
:s006:
I ordered one and cannot remember how it mounts. I know there are clips that install into the holes in the hood, but can anyone post a photo showing the proper positioning?

Thanks-

Hi cv70chall,

here is how I mounted mine. As far as I remember there is only one possibility to bring the clips into the holes.

Hey thanks!
I wasn't sure if the rounded part of the gasket pointed forward or back. That was my dilema. I guess it has to fit to clear the hood mechanism, so that would dictate it's direction.
Can you take a side photo of it?

Hi again,

click on the pic for a higher resolution. There you can see that the gasket is open in the driving direction. It's like a "V", the open side into the driving direction.
