Just got a WDK razor hood and trying to fit it up. This is the first hood I have fitted. I just installed a new oem hood seal and I'm having a few issues. The seal always seems to fold over under the hood in places and the back of the hood when it is in the hood hooks sits up with about an inch gap where the latch is? Also one side sits higher in the hood hooks than the other? Are these normal problems? Any tips on how to figure out where to put the latch? Really confused and would appreciate any help!!

I had a bit of trouble with mine, ended up using washers under the top bolt at the bracket on the hood to lift the front of the hood a tad, problem solved. I also noticed that some of the a/m hood hooks may require slotting the mounting hole a bit to get things in the right spot.

mine and my fathers (showmepro1200) hoods seals did the same thing, but we just got in a habbit that if you shook the back end of the hood a little side to side as you were putting it down, or you just hit lightly(but hard enough to ge the job done) on the top of the hood near the pad, that seal seemed to settle out and fit nicely....idk if this is what you're looking for as far as advice, but it worked for us.
Get the brapstrap from Blowsion, if not just use a ratchet strap over the hood to pull it down tite, then mark the holes.
