I am going to replace my hood to cowl seal and when I removed the old one I noticed it was also glued in place. Is it supposed to be glued and if so what glue should I use?

The assembly manual clearly shows this also. I use a black windshield seal that comes in a caulking tube made by 3M. It works perfect and looks exactly like the factory glue. There is really no need to use it unless you are trying for a factory appearance. ------------------ "Details Make the Difference" Musclecar Restoration and Design JodySirmans Jun 4th, 01, 5:18 AM My Arlington car used "T" clips in the holes along the cowl, no glue. I didn't realize it could be either way (glued or clipped).

I also didn't realize it could be either way. ------------------ Shawn Jun 5th, 01, 6:01 AM My Baltimore built (1970, built late '69)car used the T-clips on the cowl seal. ------------------ 1970 Chevy El Camino (Custom) Non-SS (http://www.dreamelectric.com/images/pb040001a.jpg) Will be Green Mist & Silver w/Green Vinyl Top (now black) 350ci/300HP 4bbl & Dual Exhaust TH-350 - 2.73 Posi Rear - Factory PS, PB, PW, A/C & More My El Camino Home Page (http://www.dreamelectric.com/index.html) Other Restorations -1969 Snowco Trailer (http://www.dreamelectric.com/Snowco.html) & 1967 Sears Custom 600 Tractor (http://www.dreamelectric.com/1967Sears.html) Team Chevelle Member #995 | ||
