Hood hook seals

[thoner7]

The seals around my air lift hooks don’t line up correctly. Is this common? The hood itself looks like it’s on right, only that the rubber is off.

I’ve looked at new rubber and they don’t appear to have any play in their mounting. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1755600488...pbirzKAzqYGeFJBcgQC85Uby_iSaTNF8aAqmeEALw_wcB

What gives?

Just variances between hoods and the rubber looks a bit old. Just trim it a bit and down the road you go.

Rectangular cross section of the hook sitting in a round hole of the seal. Mine was doing the same thing. I not only adjusted my hood fore and aft but also replaced the rubber seal with a new one that had more elongated holes. Don't think it was OEM but looks nice and gives more room for hood adjustment(s).

Mine are a little bit off, even after replacing them. You get used to it lol.
