Installed mark's excellent weather stripping around the front trunk. Fit great. Washed the car and found water in front trunk. I can easily pass a piece of paper between the fender and trunk edge. The gap is about a sixteenth for about six inches. Relocating the weather stripping doesn't help. It can only go up so high. ThePO installed a fat wiring harness which the trunk pressed down on which ran between the gap between the fender and firewall. The trunk may be slightly bowed up as a result causing this. Pushing down and trying to bend the edge down does no good because of the reinforcing beam. Any ideas? Take it to a body shop?

I know it's not ideal, but I could spot you some rubber to build up a strip to help close the gap. PM me if you want to try this.

You can (carefully) try to bend the hood back into shape. I've done this before.

But you need to go sloooooow ...

Have you tried pulling down the hood hinge plate. There are two 17-19mm bolts holding it to the body. Loosen them and pull it down a tad or, get a new hood.

Eric, sounds worth giving it a shot. Thx.

Any, a little paranoid about doing more harm than good, but thx.

Mark, will see if Eric's solution works first.
