Requesting pics of hood to cowl weatherstrip

Looking through my spare parts boxes today I found a new weatherstrip piece I had purchased back in 2008. Needless to say, it's been so long, I can't remember how the old one came off so that I could install this one in its place.

Anyone have slight distance and closeup photos I can use for reference?

Thanks in advance! (1987 Iroc)

The hood has small holes across it, about 1/8" diameter. And the molding has (should have) small plastic pins in it. Line-up the pins to the holes and push 'em in. But make sure the pins and the holes all match-up before pushing them in. If they aren't matching-up, then flip the molding end-to-end.

I finally got around to installing today and thanks for the tip; there is a left and right although not marked.

For those of you who don't have one, it'll prevent a lot of debris from getting under the hood via the wipers area.

I have the same, still in the Cardboard. I have never even opened it to see if its in there..... maybe 2005 ish I was cleaning & decreasing my 87 & managed to wreck the original.
So I removed it & ordered a new one. Still have not installed it.
