  Side Seal, Gasket

• Description:

  This genuine Ford hood side seal is the left driver-side rubber weatherstrip that runs along the edge of the hood on 2011 through 2016 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. It seals the gap between the hood and the surrounding body, blocking engine heat, air, water, and road debris from entering the engine bay perimeter and helping keep hot underhood air from being drawn back toward the cabin and intake. Ford catalogs it as a Side Seal, driver's side, and also lists it as a hood seal gasket used for the hood. Owners look for this seal when the original rubber is cracked, flattened, brittle, torn, or missing, when they notice increased underhood noise or heat, wind whistle, or when dirt and moisture are collecting where the hood meets the fender. Installing the correct factory seal restores the proper barrier and the clean fit of the closed hood. As the original-equipment part, it matches the length, profile, and attachment method of the seal that left the factory, so it follows the hood edge without gaps or bunching. Confirm the left driver side and the 2011 to 2016 Super Duty application before ordering, as the passenger-side seal is a separate piece. Clean the mounting flange, remove any old adhesive or clip remnants, then press the new seal into place along its full length so it seats evenly and seals against the body.
