Hood Crest Ornament Gasket Does Not Fit?

[PaulE]

An interesting and timely post for me. I had my hood replaced 2 years ago and recently noticed the crest isn’t sitting in the gasket on all sides. The warm water should do the trick when I get around to fixing it, so thanks for the info!

I ordered one of those silver and black hood crests last year and it came with a new gasket. That was too small also 🙄

I had to make one.

The hot water idea is a good one! I'll give it a go in the morning, and will report back here accordingly.

Even so, this is such a common part that one would have thought that this problem would have been sorted out long, long ago.

Maybe try a heat gun on low setting or even a hair dryer?

I want to get a silver and black hood crest also.

Why do I have a feeling you actually enjoyed making your own gasket?
