Dodge Challenger Hood Seal Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- Do you have that annoying floppy hood seal, has it fallen off? In this video I cover how to properly replace the seal for a few bucks and an hour of your time.
The challenger hood seal is notorious for premature wear cracking and falling apart in just a few short years of use. The significantly cuts down on water spray and dust entering the engine bay area, keeping your engine looking cleaner longer, a major need for people who show off their car and an important thing to prevent premature engine wear as well.
The replacement is inexpensive and can be purchased from your favorite mopar parts store. I have included all the parts and tool links below and remember when you purchase from the Luxe or Amazon links below you pay the same low price and a small portion of their profit goes to help my channel.

Hey brother, the dealership was gonna charge me over $250 dollars to replace this thing and they wouldn't even tell me the proper nomenclature of the part so that I could find and possibly do it myself! What a rip-off they were trying to pull over on me!! I found your vid here totally by accident as I was researching info for replacing the windshield wiper cowl grille panel on my 2014 Challenger SXT. I'd kinda given up on the hood seal as I really couldn't find any info on it. But that was only because I was calling it every thing BUT the right thing! Lol. Thanks sooooo much for this video. Definitely going to take care of this while working on the windshield panel. Much appreciated my friend! keep the info coming brother!
Glad to help where I can 💪
Just wanna say, you did an awesome job explaining how to replace it. Overall I spent $35 dollars and was so easy to do! And I’m a girl so anyone can do it easily 👍🏼.
Glad to help 👍
Wow. Way to sell yourself and all us other "girls" out.
You truly are the one stop shop for anything Challenger related! Bought a 2016 RT back in February and noticed a flapping from the hood yesterday. Google how to change this and of course your video pops up top of the searches!
Awesome 👏 I tried to cover all the fun stuff I did with my challengers 😊🌮
Thanks for this video, and the links to the seal and rivets. I got a 16' scatty with a extended warranty. The dealer hemmed and hawed about whether it would be covered, then told me to do the research, then told me if it's not covered, it would be about 2 hours work plus the$95 for the part. I ordered everything and all in, it took me 20 minutes to replace for less than $100. So I appreciate this.
Glad to help ensure the dealers stop taking people's money ;0
Just did it, was skeptical about drilling out the rivets, but they came out in one piece. Great video. thank you!!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for another great vid! Also, thanks for the thoughtful camera placement. I can't stand it when someone does an install video but doesn't actually let the viewer see what is going on.
When I bought my '14 Challenger back in August of last year, replacing this hood seal was the first thing I had to do. I know that all rubber/plastic seals will eventually wear out, but it's a shame that my car was only 4yrs old (at the time), & this seal had already started splitting at the ends (C'mon FCA, can't you produce this seal & make it last more than 4yrs?!?). I think this a pretty common issue with the Challenger - who knows, maybe the Charger, 300, etc too. I'm sure that owners of those cars can tell us.
I bought that same tool, & it worked, but I found the handles somewhat difficult to squeeze. Anybody else have the same problem?
Anyway, thanks again for another straightforward, informational, & easy to understand video.
I have personally replaced a couple dozen of these as I work for FCA its not really a big deal I have a pair of rivet clippers that cuts them right off 3 minutes in and out
what I did find difficult was installing the hood pins little more difficult
Thank you 🙏 mine wore out in 2 years and finally split apart. I park with the hood open so the seal was seeing a lot of action
My 2016 challenger had the same issue... just ripped it today. Will be using this video as reference to change mine
We had to do this on my 2015 RT this summer. Half of it was gone when we bought the car last August. I couldn’t stand looking at the gap it leaves without it correctly installed. Looks so much better with the new in place.
Agreed mine was still there but folded down and it was driving me nuts
Glad I watched this. Aside from one rivet that really wanted to stay in, everything went smoothly.
Wow! And here I thought I was the only one who’s hood seal was coming apart, never thought to have the dealer replace it during my bumper to bumper warranty.
It's pretty common my was bad after 2 years, but finally ripped by year 3
This must be a very typical thing as the seal on my 2015 Shaker was bad when I bought it new. Just bought the tool, rivits and seal from your links. Thanks for the discount code! Another great video!
Thanks man! It's a very common issue, the part number in the description is the "new" version so hopefully they figured out how to make it last longer ;)
Glad to see that beautiful Scat Pack is still providing you with some content!
Still have about 15+ videos of content to edit with the old girl ;)
@@WorkPlayDrive YEA! That's awesome, man! I'm excited to see it all!
Thanks for the tip on the rivets, saved a bunch of time
Lmao! So ironic because I was driving to Walmart this morning and there was something flapping from my hood. Got there and realized it was my hood seal. Smh. This video was just what I was looking for. Just ordered everything and will be replacing this week. Thanks! Saving me a ton of money!!💸💸💸💸
Any time 💪
Been looking for a good video and best place to buy parts for this. You’ve provided both. Great video !
Thank you!
Thanks man. After years your vids still help folk.
Glad to hear that 💪 thank you.
Damn! that engine bay look awesomely clean.
Noticed a strange noise on my way home in the dark. Noticed the dang thing hanging out when I got in the garage. Got the hood nice and scuffed up. Guess I'm getting the DA out this weekend and installing new seal. FML! Thanks for the great video.
Sorry that she got scuffed up, but glad my video helped
Just did mine 2 weeks ago. You did the same thing I did. Great thorough explanation. Would love to do hood pins but too nervous 😢
I was very nervous too, but it was an easy install I would have had a video on it, but I installed them at HonestlyOCDs house and the footage was filled with 4 letter words not suitable to my audience ;)
Just tore mine off yesterday thanks for the vid.
I did this on my last challenger and not worth the $$$. I just tie mine off.
Thank you for the video. I just ordered the hood seal, rivets and rivet tool for my 2016 hellcat challenger.
Glad to help
Thanks man, I have to replace mine soon
I never paid much attention, now I have to go check mine!
You will know when it fails it starts flapping on your hood ;)
Right on time with this one - Mine just came off a couple of days ago. You saved me a lot of time and probably a few dollars too! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nice glad to help ☺️
THANK YOU FOR GOOD EXPLANATION. IM GIRL AND I CANT WAIT TO DO IT MY SELF. I JUST ORDER IT.
Glad to help 💪
Thanks for the video! Just made this repair the other day.
Anytime 🙏
I literally just did this last week!
Awesome video! Thanks bro
Glad to assist 💪
Very helpful, thanks...dang rivet tool is $46 in Canada though lol
Oh wow!
Attempted to do with out the nylon rivit tool. Total no go. The typical Stanley rivit gun didn't work for me.
I finally got this project completed. Be aware of ordering this part from Amazon. The seal was supposed to come with the nylon rivets. First time around no rivets. Returned and ordered a second time and the rivets were defective. The nylon stem, nail looking object was separate from the rivet head. The stem and rivet head must be attached. It is not possible to hold the stem in the rivet head while using the the tool. Also the rivets that come with the Harbor Freight tool are metric size and will not fit in the. Hopefully this information will make the project easier for somebody else!
I thought you returned the Scatpack to the leasing company. Nice to see you kept her! Great video and tips again. I’ll get the parts so I’ll have them in stock I once my seal breaks. Difficult to have them shipped to Europe.
Have you looked into making the gap smaller between the hood and front fascia? I did that by replacing the other rivets with stainless bolts and rubber-coated grommets.
She's gone, I just have a ton of instructional videos in queue to be edited I will slowly be releasing them as I get the time to edit.
Thankyou
Thank you Sir. I went to the dealership and got it for less than $40. Just to let you guys know..
Awesome 👍😉
You were lucky, at the dealership they were asking 260 for mine. (100 part, 100 labor plus taxes) no thanks I will do it myself😎
Great Video and thanks for the info I just ordered mine.! 🤙🏾. Quick question. What did you use to change the color of furs boxes,caps,etc. Reg. Spray paint or something else.?
good music choice
What? You didn’t use 7mm bolts to screw the seal into place? Oh wait that was somebody else I know 😂😂. Nice video
Lol, you know I started this video back when that actually happened ;)
Hey I noticed that you have the grills inside your shaker hood scoop painted orange did you make a video of how to get them apart.?
No sorry, and my shaker is not OEM it's made by Cervinis the removal video wold have been lass than a minute ;)
Just about to place the order for my own new seal. Stealership want $320 to do the job. Only question is what size drill bit did you use? By the way- THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO.
Anytime man!
I don’t remember the exact size but what I did was I found a drillbit that was just a teeny bit larger than the hole. And I drilled very carefully
Would you know where I could find some trunk seal replacement??? I'm having a hard time finding some.
Is this what you’re looking for? www.eastcoastmoparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-decklid-weatherstrip-4575880ad
I have a sort of related question. I am sure you have a ton of contacts in the Mopar field, that being said, do you know of anyone that has a 2019 Scat Pack that changed the front nose to a hellcat? If so could you guide me in the right direction of where I need to start my research? Any info will help.
Sir, will a regular Rivet Tool work to install these plastic rivets, or is a plastic rivet tool required? Thank you.
You will need the plastic rivet tool since the shafts are much thicker on the plastic rivets.
@@WorkPlayDrive Thank you!
Ebay has the seal with rivets for 17.99
Do you need a specific rivet gun, or will a standard rivet gun work/fit for this fix?
You will need a plastic rivet gun.
@@WorkPlayDrive Okay, great! Thank you!
Any way to fix the seeling in the door windows?
I don’t have a video on it but you can order and replace the seals.
Nice car
Thank you!
Overtime the nose will sag and the seal will just blow out when you close the hood or when you drive. You will see if you have it long enough.
Then we will fix that as well ;)
I have noticed your paint in several vids. What did you do and use to keep it swirl free other than the two bucket wash. I don't believe I have seen any orange peel either. Did you do anything for it or was it there and I just didn't/couldn't see it? Nice informative vid. I have a rivet the factory missed in the wheel well that I thought was a push pin but now I know it's a rivet.
My paint had some swirls, when I picked up the car it was really bad. A little paint correction and then a carnuba based wax will cover up leaving a nice glossy finish. The carnuba wax only lasts a few weeks tho.
The best option (expensive) is paint correction and ceramic coating.
@@WorkPlayDrive Thanks...you really did a great job on the paint correction. Did you start by sanding or go with compound/polish/wax
@@jcasey460 I picked up the Torq Random Orbital polisher kit from Amazon - amzn.to/2GNWbNQ This new kit actually comes with everything.
For for most of the car I was able to use VSS - amzn.to/35jiu7r with the orange Hex logic pads amzn.to/2Uh2cpy. The VSS breaks down into finer polish as you make additional passes.
For the heavier scratches I worked my through the polishes using 36 first, if that didn't work I would go down to 34, and in a rare deeper scratch use the 32, then work my way back up using the appropriate pad and polish combo.
Finally I top coated it with Jet seal - amzn.to/35k5OgG and used a carnuba based wax to finish it off. (I'm not sponsored by Chemical guys, though I should be by now) I just started using their products and they have been working great for me.
Hope that helps!
@@WorkPlayDrive yes it does... Thanks

👍
Where are the links?
They are all in the description of the video.
what drill bit size is recommended?
I don’t recall the exact side but you want to go with a bit the same size as the center pin.
it's raining and I dont have a hood seal on my car will my engine get water in it ??
No more than usual, the hood is not waterproof even with the seal so not much to worry about. The engine bay will get dirty much faster without the seal though
What size drill bit was that?
Did you find out what size drill bit to use?
@@euniceserrano8988 yea I ended up buying a set of bits.. it was like a 3/32. I only needed to for the rivets on each end.. I used a push tool to get the ones along the middle out.
I am not seeing a description or parts list(?)
How many rivets are there?
Sorry I don’t recall.
11

Content struggle with the new ride?
No, I have a large backlog of videos that still need to be edited and put out.
I just pulled mine off. Not really needed
Lol, you used a Hellcat picture
it’s my car why not use a photo of it?
Not sure I get your point. The scat pack I’m working on is my old car. The hellcat in the photo is my new car.
do you also teach politics?
😂😂 nope
