when did VW first put the seal on the front hood, rather than on the body? Thanks. George

AFAIK Never. At least in EU The seal is suposed to sit in on the body, however it is a collector of dirt and moist so it will rust easily. If the seal is placed on the hood (or engine lid) the surface is smooth, ie; no rust.

No problem!
A friend's 1994 Mexican car had the original type of seal, whereas later ones I have seen have the one on the bonnet.
