jft69z Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I'm at work, no pictures. This is the one I picked up & installed a few weeks ago. Pretty much resembles the original one. Ebay had the best price with the shipping factored in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/68-72-Chevelle-El-Camino-Rear-Hood-Weatherstrip-Seal-5070A-SoffSeal/254438642355?epid=2288057912&hash=item3b3db992b3:g:Hm8AAOSwhE9bhvZH https://www.soffseal.com/ss-5070a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny first gen 71 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Is the one on the cowl side? There is 2 one on hood one on cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I don't think it included the clips to hold it in place. I also had to punch holes in the rubber too. I may have used regular black plastic umbrella push pins to hold it in place. I think I trimmed them a bit so they weren't round either, like the doctored picture below. The correct clips are available, but stupid money if I recall. I have boxes of the black ones 'in stock'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I picked mine up from the parts place and I thought the clips came with the weatherstrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The clips didnt come with mine and the ones I got for cowl seal didn't fit quote tight enough but did work on. I never got around to putting the one back on the hood side. Maybe after I make the cowl scoop hood I will. I bought a hood a while back to do it.

1970mcss Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 You are correct, I double checked and the clips aren't included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Here are some pics from the factory manual. The lesser quality pic is actually updated from the clear one. Notice the spray aim dimension is different, but it's easier to see. wiper hoses1.pdf wiper hoses.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsorg Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 joe thanks for the pictures, i have my wiper hoses going thru my cowl screens now,i will reroute thanks roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not sure in the real world how they would route. I see they have "plugs' listed on the parts list that fill a couple of holes. My car is of no help, maybe someone here with an original car will know better. I don't recall my car having holes there though, but I'm at work and can't look right now. I didn't fill any holes when I had it apart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
