Check your weather stripping.

Ok about to drop some really complex, cutting edge, hard hitting tech discussion here. :D

I noticed my TA, with 1,600 miles on it, started losing it's drivers side head light weather stripping. Silly easy fix and I would rather use a better 3M tape than the factory replacement would use so I redid it yesterday. Rotated the photos in photobucket so if theyre upside down give them a few minutes.

Yeah easy fix, I think the factory weather stripping is a tad too long on that one side and it gets pinched when the hood is closed. Trim about a 1/4 inch off of it and it will close much better.

Also the 3M automotive grade double sided tape is wider than what the factory used so it will adhere better. I just went in there and removed any old adheasive cut the new tape and re applied the weather stripping.
