Attached is a pic of my buggy, I want to clean up this butchered hole they cut to clear the filler neck. Problem is it does need a bit of play to be able to slide a bit as I lift the hood off. As I pull the hood off I need to tilt and slide it forward to remove. Main thing I want to do is seal that hole so if I am out in the rain it is not just pouring in there...

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I may be able to make this look better? Was thinking if there were some sort of rubber diaphrams or something I could attach to the body that seals the hole but stays tight around the filler neck??? Other thought is to section the filler neck itself, maybe cut it down 3-4\" so I don't need as clearance on that hole... Any suggestions welcome.

Look into an RV shop. They will have finishing stuff for trailer homes or recreational boats. Heck you may even be able to find something at walmart.
