Note: this is not about the rear seal for the windshield. This is for the front of the car.
A few years ago after I had to take salvage on my car following a deer collision, one thing that always peeved me off was when the body guy I went to did the hood replacement, he did not salvage the rubber seal for my hood.
I'm not crazy, right? There is supposed to be some rubber weatherstripping type seal across the front of the hood? I've been very paranoid ever since, thinking I am letting more water / road salt etc through the front than the car should be getting. Even feel nervous in car washes for some reason. But I've never been able to find an actual part number or reference to this item.
I've got the two rubber feet and my interior hood liner. That's it.
1) is there supposed to be a rubber seal?
2) if so can someone help me find one
3) any chance this could have caused potential issues with my aftermarket alternator? ( this thread) I was thinking if environmental exposure was an issue, especially due to heavy road salting.
edit: is it this?? That picture looks weird, I mean it looks more like a metal or plastic molded piece than flexible rubber lol
