Mmmm.

There are two holes in that location on each side. One in front of the other.

The front hole looks on the tight side for the rubber (making me think that will be the one) and the rear hole is slightly on the easy side (making me think that is probably NOT the hole I need).

I think there should be three, one in the middle also. There may still be remnants on the cowl where they once sat.

Those guys are a bugger, as they can hold the hood up in back and mess with hinge setup and the hood to fender lines.

I had worked the one in the middle rear out but didn't remember where these other two went.

I will have to wait until Thursday night to see if I can fit them and what effect they may have on hood alignment. Taking my wife to the movies tonight. :wink:
