Stuart,
my first Mog way back in 2003 had a 9 stud hood. I don't remember bad leaks like you describe. More would comein via the sidescreens
But I do seem to remember that the front of the hood had a padded area to press against the hood rail.
I also had manual hood tensioner levers that really put the hood under tension. They are advertised in Miscellany regularly.
