Sealing the cowl

I installed a new hood-to-cowl seal today.  The seal is installed using weatherstrip cement.  Because of the length of the seal, application was a bit tricky.  I prepped both the weatherstrip and the mounting area by wiping with denatured alcohol.  I then coated both surfaces with a thin layer of weatherstrip cement.  I also added some painters tape to the area; a trick I learned from a YouTube video.

After another thin layer of cement, I secured the seal to the flange with the strips of painters tape and let it cure.

Once cured the seal was strong.  Another bit of missing rubber restored.
