The flat edge of the hood needs to be pulled tight on the cowl to hood weatherstripping. A new cowl seal should help some but I suspect the hinges may need a bit of adjustment. A Tech Tip on the hood adjustment in this forum will explain how to accomplish that.

A clutch head screwdriver socket on a ratchet may fit between the cowl and the hood.
