Hood seal rubber stripping... '39 Six

Posted by Packard Newbie On 2019/9/27 1:55:03
I was out on the highway the other day and the headwind was such that my hood started to flutter quite loudly at the back of the hood on top. I checked under it when I got home and see some small holes there on the top of the firewall lip, obviously for anchoring some kind of stripping. I looked through Steele's offering and don't see anything specific to that area and I can't come up with a part number in the parts list. I THOUGHT maybe a guy could put some nice, neat strips of adhesive-back closed cell black foam in there just to fill the space and not give the fairly thin metal of the hood, any room to flutter. I view this as somewhat of a jury-rigged solution and would rather locate the 'real thing'. Anybody know of a source for the correct rubber molding for there??
Or what do most owners do?? Thanks, as always for any help or suggestions. Chris
