The short tension cables shouldn't affect the contact in regards to the seal. However, from my experience the cables will likely fray and need replacing at some point. They do help with overall hood tension when it's up, so I would check for any fraying near the ends.

thanks for above info... the rubber on the hood is in the correct position all the way around
on the drivers side there is a finger gap between the seal and the clamshell to around a third distance to the middle thereafter it seals. The cable on the drivers side is taught and this side has the gap. Passenger side is less taught and the seal is tight against the clamshell. Both cables not frayed and seem in good condition. It seems to me that taught cable could be the problem is there any adjustment ???
