AFAIK Never. At least in EU
The seal is suposed to sit in on the body, however it is a collector of dirt and moist so it will rust easily. If the seal is placed on the hood (or engine lid) the surface is smooth, ie; no rust. hth Roger "George" > schreef in bericht . .. > when did VW first put the seal on the front hood, rather than on the body? > Thanks. > George |
