The hood on my 32 sticks aggressively to the cowl and radiator welting making it hard to open.
Has anyone experienced this and what did you apply to the welting so it doesn't stick?

NO, but I would try talcum powder.

Thanks for the idea Karl.
I just ran chalk over the welting, figured close to talcum but easier to apply. I'll know tomorrow whether it works.

Thanks,
Glenn

Maybe try wiping it with some Armor All.

Thanks Bill, that will be next on the list.

Vaseline works great. Brush it on generously.

Glenn,

Is your hood lacing the original version with a hard black/brown core or the replacement version with a relatively soft white core?

Morning David,

I have the black/brown core.

I removed the chalk and applied Armorall 3 times and it seems to help. I applied it two days ago, went for a nice ride yesterday morning and then checked the hood today. It was still slightly sticky but broke the contact easily.

ArmorAll is doing the trick.

Thanks all,
Glenn

I used silicon spray on a rag and it works fine.
