Hi all.

My car doesn't have the rubber that sits in the channel across the back of the engine bay, where the bonnet sits. Can these be bought new? can I just go into clarke rubber and get something? what size is it?

Regards

Part No HYA3925. Clark Rubber could be the go, but remember it needs to be soft & compressable.

I'm not sure the seal is all that effective, as every wiper motor I've ever disasembled has always had water damage. Maybe it's purpose is to prevent the bonnet rattling.

I got the roundy one (sponge) from Grippy Rubber in Silverwater.
1M is enough, trim it to fit.
