NOTE: Removing old seal:

In a straight area of hood, grip old seal piping with a pair of pliers and pull off horizontally. Grip detached seal with both hands and uniformly pull away from hood ridge.

Push seal piping (1) by hand onto hood ridge (2). Using a rubber hammer, gently tap seal piping (1) as far as it will go onto hood ridge (2). Make sure piping is evenly positioned especially in radii of hood ridge.
