ABSTRACT:
An automotive air intake system for sealing against a hood having a shear closure movement. A striker assembly having a rigid striker plate and a flexible conduit attaches to the interior of the hood. A stationary air cleaner plate having a planar sealing surface surrounds an air cleaner opening. The striker plate strikes the air cleaner plate and compresses the conduit when the hood is moved to a partially closed position. The bellows opening mates with the air cleaner opening when the hood is moved to a closed position.
