Hood Seal

Attached to the cowl along the edge there is an "L" shaped rubber seal used to keep water from entering
the engine compartment between the hood and cowl. I am replacing it and I forgot how it goes. Can anyone
chime in pm this? Does it go like this L or an upside down L? Thanks.......

Like an upside down "L" you want the hood to "fold" the seal over as you close it.

Broktruk, hope you don't mind sharing. What brand is that and what parts store did you get it at? Thanks.

I think you are looking for this thread.

Be forewarned that it took me at least 7 tries to get the website to work all the way to order complete. Not including the order I placed several weeks ago when this thread first popped up and that failed completely. The order finally took yesterday and I have no doubt I'll get the part, it's just that the site kept crashing in Firefox and wouldn't load at all in Edge. I'm ordering the Rubber the Right Way part to see if it's a better fit for my truck than the one I got from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. That one is a little shorter on the L so it doesn't hit the back edge of the hood as tightly.
