Proper retention of the cowl seal prevents the weatherstrip from lifting or shifting over time. The genuine Nissan Cowl Seal Retaining Clip, also known as a Clip-Canoe, is the factory fastener used to secure the hood-to-cowl seal on the S13 platform. These small clips hold the rubber seal firmly in place along the upper cowl area.
Original clips frequently break or become missing during seal replacement or routine maintenance, allowing the weatherstrip to move or sit incorrectly. Installing new genuine Nissan clips restores secure retention of the cowl seal. Catalog sources confirm this part fits the JDM Silvia S13, 180SX, and the USDM 240SX (1989–1994). It is also used on other Nissan models including certain Skyline applications. Multiple clips are typically required per vehicle.
Whether you are installing a new cowl seal or replacing broken retainers, these OEM clips provide the correct fit and holding strength. At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply this genuine Nissan Cowl Seal Retaining Clip for S13 Silvia, 180SX, and 240SX owners who prefer authentic body fasteners. Choose Terra Firma Automotive for the small details that keep your S13 platform sealed and properly finished.
