In this 12-minute instructional video, Kent will show you how he installs the rear hood seal on the hoods of the R107 and the C107 built from 1972 to 1989. This will include cleaning and prepping the hood, trial fitting the pad, proper application of the glue supplied in our kit, and installing it with a helper to make sure you get it positioned correctly and attached firmly. Watch the video below to see how easy it would be to install this yourself.
