When I lifted the rear of the hood I was reminded what a sad state the foam seal was in! Disgusting!

I decided to replace this mess, but didn't want to use the same material as I thought it would deteriorate in a similar manner. I found some VELCRO in the local DIY store (the packaging was damaged and it was going cheap!)and so I thought that the loop side would be perfect to replace the foam seal.

The first thing was to remove the old seal. I used a chisel to scrape the remnants off the metal.
 You will be left with the adhesive to remove, and I used some spray adhesive remover to clean it off, Leaving you with this.  |

I rubbed the metalwork down and sprayed it with black paint, to tidy it up.

When the paint had dried, I applied a coating of contact adhesive to the metal.
 When the adhesive was tacky I began to apply the velcro tape.  |

  Definitely an improvement, and I hope the velcro will last better than the original foam. |
