Weatherstripping

When applying the weatherstripping, do not stretch or pull on it while sticking it down... especially around corners. In a short time, this will unstick the weatherstripping, and cause it to web across corners. To prevent this, lightly compact the weatherstripping as you adhere it around corners.

hood:

Although you can seal the entire hood opening, only sealing the top corners (by the handles) improves air ventilation in the engine compartment.

Doors:

be very careful not to stretch the weatherstrip...

Trunk:

unlike the hood, completely sealing the trunk is generally a good idea. hide the seam behind a hinge for neatness.

What not to do:

this weatherstrip was stretched during installation and eventually pulled free.
