86 21... Installing hood seal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW M3, 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.

Installation 

Position end face of seal at front end of hood in a straight area. Lay seal from front to rear.
