Front hood weatherstrip replacement

Post by gwb72tii »

The long piece that seals the sides of the hood and in front of the windshield, p/n 51231881906

Anyone source a replacement from a company like McMaster Carr? This piece has been NLA forever, hoping someone found a substitute.

TIA

Must be because the part is probably called the hood seal/weatherstrip and you added the word front which could be like saying the rear diff or you were talking about the front of the hood seal, that foam piece. All discombobulated but that's ok we got it figured out.
