I dunno.
I am needing the gasket / trim seal for the hood. Mine was all brittle and just flaked away. I can't locate that piece either. I guess mcmaster is a good place to start

Thanks for this. I ordered some and it arrives today. Gooey washers that are spreading black gunk and streaks are going away. Problem solved for $15.00. Now on to the next project....

Great, let me know how it works out. Make sure you clean the edge of the light where it will be sticking to. I forgot the first time ��
Also make the rubber a little longer than needed, then trim once its locked in. If any parts are sticking out from locking the headlight in they can be worked level will a thin piece of plastic edge or your finger. After it was clamped awhile it sticks pretty well incase you need to remove the light. Good luck.
