Rubber Pads for Hood

[amsiegel]

Does anyone have a photo of where the rubber pads for the hood go? I have seen the pads on Vicks website and I can no figure out where they go. My hood bounces a little in the corners by the windshield some times. I know this is probably going to be something very sinmple and I will look like an idiot again.

I bought the same pads from Vicks. Sorry no pics but they're really easy to install. The lip of the rubber pad slides into a horizontal opening on each corner of the hood. Once you get them you'll see what I'm talking about. It'll take you all of 10 seconds to put them on.

Part number 81-9394 they are $9.90 a piece and you need 2 for the car. I just called they are in stock.

Most of the vendors sell the rubber pads that originally came on the early cars. I am not aware of anyone selling the foam-type pads that originally came on the later models (pictured below).

For a slightly different spin, here's the correct pad mounting on a '78. It looks like the same size pad, although mine has a ridge around the outside edge.

The only rust on my '82 was under those foam pads, seem to hold in moisture.

I ended up using short pieces of door seal rubber. It mounted nicely and I have not had any issues with the hood bouncing. It also does not allow water to accumulate behind anything.

Well that did not work, hum. I tried it again and something is not agreeing with what I am doing. If you will go to my web site (link listed below) click on pictures then click on photobucket pictures, the top four pictures are of the hood. Let me know what you think.
