In restoring my 914-6, we used all new rubber. OEM where available, but otherwise from Mark at 914rubber.com, who was extremely helpful in getting everything that we needed. One thing I discovered is that the hood seal that fits inside the front trunk and runs from one side of the car to the other (part 914 512 315 11) forward of the fuel tank, seems to be very tall and as a result has caused the front trunk lid to bow a bit across this area. I have a parts car that I've used, and I looked at the original seal (now quite weathered and brittle of course), and it seems to have a different and lower profile. I'd like to replace the seal with something that fits better, but all of the online sources seem to show the same seal that I have. I don't remember exactly where this one came from either. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a seal with a lower profile or some other workaround besides leaving the seal off? Thanks
