    Is this foam trim supposed to be on the hood?

    My strip is definitely tight against cowling. Contoured perfecty, but slightly loose at each end-just a dab of Goop or similar adhesive effective. Definitely functions as a seal.

    Running out of fuel/Massively inaccurate fuel gauge

When car is parked in cooler enironment i.e., garage etc then volume will probably contract; then when driven now in outdoor usually higher ambient temp plus heat from car, fluid will expand. Same will occur when...

    Wiper Arm Foam Seal

    Made “donut” myself-check hardware stores for foam, perhaps some used for pipe wrapping. Can’t remember whether original peice was fit flush inside pane, or slightly protruding.
