What This Product Does

The seal forms a flexible barrier where the closed bonnet meets the surrounding bodywork. Its purpose is to restrict moisture and dirt entering the front luggage compartment through this joint.

Functions

• Provides sealing around the front bonnet opening.
• Helps exclude rainwater, dust and debris.
• Provides cushioning between the bonnet and its sealing surface.

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match.
• Part number: 90151190106.
• Installation position: front bonnet / hood aperture.
• Recorded application references: 90151190101, 90151190102, 90151190104 and 90151190105.

Symptoms of Fault

• Moisture collecting inside the front luggage compartment or spare-wheel recess.
• Rubber showing splits, brittleness or compressed sections.
• Seal corners pulling away or leaving gaps.
• A persistent damp odour around the luggage area.

Why Replacement Matters

Ageing rubber can lose flexibility and stop making consistent contact with the bonnet. Renewing a damaged seal helps address leakage at this joint during maintenance or restoration. Check the surrounding bodywork, drainage channels and bonnet adjustment as well: another leak path or blocked drain will not necessarily be resolved by changing the seal alone.

FAQs

Can treatment restore a hardened seal?
A rubber conditioner may improve its surface condition, but it cannot repair cracks or reverse permanent shrinkage.

What should be checked before fitting?
Remove dirt and old residue from the mounting surface, inspect for corrosion and confirm that drainage paths are clear. Position the replacement without pulling it under tension.

What if the compartment remains wet?
Investigate nearby joints and drainage routes, and check that the bonnet contacts the seal evenly before assuming the replacement is faulty.

Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.
