There is a gap between the front engine bay seal and the engine tin. The engine bay seal is new. Is this gap o.k.? Do I have to do something to make it fit better?
 Thanks, Buck |

The factory front and side seals are miter cut vertically on a 45* at the front, and clipped at those corners in bottom with a hog ring. The rear (twin flap) seal overlaps the side seals on each side, and has the outer flap stapled to the side seal where it overlaps.
The front and side seals should hook over the lip of the engine metal, and the rear should have one flap on each side of the rear engine metal. If the front or sides are too long it can buckle in the middle. They also put a piece of tar or butyl caulk in the front corners of the engine shelves |
