Q: What is a hood to cowl gasket weatherstrip seal?
This seal sits at the rear of the hood where it meets the cowl, helping block water, fumes, and engine-bay heat from entering the cowl area.
Q: What issues show up when it?s missing or flattened?
You can get water flowing where it should not, increased engine smell near the vents, and annoying hood-to-cowl rattles.
Q: Are there other names for a hood to cowl gasket weatherstrip seal?
Catalogs may list it under hood and cowl sealing terms.
- Cowl seal
- Rear hood seal
- Hood cowl weatherstrip
- Hood to firewall seal
- Under-hood rear seal
Names vary by manufacturer and OEM terminology.
Q: Does it affect hood alignment or closing feel?
