    I'm looking at my hood and see, what appears to be, provisions for "hood seals"? Is there a strip(s) of rubber available to attach to the hood to seal it better from water intrusion? Pics because you needs pics...period.

    What are you looking at? If it were set up for full seals then it would have a series of holes for clips. And, the mud and dirt come from underneath, not around the hood gap.

    Yeah funny never really noticed but those are attachment points for something. Costs money to make square holes. I’m sure someone will know the engineer at Toyota….
