Firewall / Cowl To Hood Seal - Repro ~ 1967 - 1968 Mercury Cougar / 1967 - 1968 Ford Mustang

I had the original seal on the car when I bought this one. The appearance looks pretty close to the original. I needed to shorten it about a 1/2 inch to be the same length as the original. All the clips were pre-installed so it snapped right in.

As others have mentioned the seal is not marked for the location of the clips. I found that mine were all ~5-3/8 apart so I measured it out, used a pick tool to make a small hole, inserted the T end of the clips, and clipped the seal onto my cowl. It looked good but I did add a few dabs of weatherstripping adhesive between the clips to straighten it out. I honestly have no clue what this seal is supposed to keep in or out of the engine bay but for a few bucks I don't have to look at 7 holes in my cowl anymore!

While I can't speak to correctness, this seal fit just fine. It is not pre-punched for the retaining clips, so you'll have to line it up and make your own holes. No big deal.

Worked great

I used a drop of adhesive inside the seal on each clip. works great.
