Why EPDM

EPDM stays supple through hot summers and cold winters and resists sunlight and ozone, so a hood seal keeps sealing instead of shrinking and cracking.

What's in the box

• Your ordered length of IRS1583EP hood seal, as one continuous piece

Fitting tips

1. Measure. Measure the full run of the old hood seal and round up to whole metres.
2. Compare. Hold the end of the new seal against the old one to confirm the profile.
3. Remove and clean. Take off the old seal and clean off any old adhesive.
4. Fit. Locate the base flange the way the original was held, with the lip facing the hood, without stretching the seal.
5. Trim. Cut the ends square with a sharp blade.

Questions buyers ask

Is the price per metre?
Yes. Order the number of metres you need and they arrive as one continuous length.

Does it fit the Vitesse?
The supplier lists it for both the Herald and the Vitesse. Compare it with your old seal if you are unsure.

Is it an original part?
No, it is an aftermarket reproduction profile in EPDM.

How is it fixed?
Fix it the same way as the original seal; most installers use a contact adhesive along the base flange.

Not sure it is the right profile?
Send us a photo of your old seal's cut end and we will check before you order.
