Grigg, very interesting insight on the fit and function of the hood and latch after installing new rubber. Great read. Thanks for sharing. Do the GM's have a Ranco valve setup and will you be getting into it ? I see several venders sell the rebuild "washer" and I am considering giving it try while I have a pile of parts in my hand.
