Hood Gasket Replacement

E-mail Print PDF
(front edge of the hood)
The rubber gasket that runs the length of the front edge of the hood has a tendency to loose its shape and become wavy with age. The fix is a simple matter of replacement with new pieces:
  1. Order a new gasket (P/N 893-823-737E, about $25) and about 16 plastic rivets (P/N 893-823-740, about $0.56 each) from your favorite dealer.
  2. Open hood and use pliers to remove plastic rivets that hold the gasket.
  3. Reinstall new gasket by carefully tapping in the new rivets.
