Just wanted to give you a heads up in case it was an accident. They are self lubricating shockings. Not sure if it will cause a problem or not.Yes, I did it on purpose that way because I didn’t like the way they looked with the housing up! Plus my Camry has hood shocks faced with housing down and the car has 300k miles on it and they haven’t failed yet so I’m not too concerned.
How do you wash the window? Does the sprayer clear the lightbar? Maybe its just the picture angle.After careful review, the play on the field has been altered: removed the hood mounts to cut off some rubber. The extra rubber kept water around and didn’t serve a purpose. Also painted thehood bolts matte black.
Well. Was getting the rig ready for nice weather. Going to throw the top on the Top Lift Pro and get my new Mopar Tube Doors installed until I opened the box See if you can tell the problem in this pic.
luckily I only had drivers door off and had to reinstall.
HOnestly - i havent tested it yet, but it looks like it will not clear. Might be a deal-breaker. After i installed, i went right into washing.....totally missed testing it! I'll you know though.How do you wash the window? Does the sprayer clear the lightbar? Maybe its just the picture angle.
The Bolt hood lock should have included several 1/4" steel rivets (in case yours were missing). Or did you want to use nuts/bolts/washers instead?Also installed a Bolt hoodlock and Lamin-x amber fog light covers and painted my cowl vent.
I didnt want to buy a rivet gun for a most likely one time use and didnt want to pay anyone. Its mounted solidly and not going anywhere. Yes, I took off the fog lights, wiped them with rubbing alcohol to clean them and applied them. Very forgiving if you dont get it the first time and air bubbles push out real easy.The Bolt hood lock should have included several 1/4" steel rivets (in case yours were missing).

I've a pair of Lamin-X fog light covers in the parts box. Did you remove the fog light housings from the bumper to allow for easier installation? That seems to be necessary so as to allow for proper placement & adhesion. TIA.
I did purchase the relevant rivet gun from Harbor Freight for the job. $16 with coupon. It did struggle with the steel rivets included with the Bolt hood lock, but I got it done. Yes, I might never need that tool again, but the one-time cost wasn't bothersome.I didnt want to buy a rivet gun for a most likely one time use and didnt want to pay anyone.

@tatarinRedline tuning hood shocks on. Wow should have done this long time ago!

Good to know! Thanks.@Heimkehr
IF, you ever pull the fender liners that involves removing some plastic rivets. You might peel back the fender liner to access the Aux battery, etc.. Anyway, that rivet gun will do the deed of replacing the rivets you pulled.
how on earth did you get those hood bolts outAfter careful review, the play on the field has been altered: removed the hood mounts to cut off some rubber. The extra rubber kept water around and didn’t serve a purpose. Also painted thehood bolts matte black.
HA! SO - the first one, i just used my 1/2 ratchet with the torx bit. When the bolt "broke" loose, it scratched my clear, as the torx jumped out of the bolt head. Not happy with it, but fixable. On the rest, i used a 6" extension, so my pressure was more horizontal and elevated from the hood. That worked better.....OH, and i ate my Wheaties.how on earth did you get those hood bolts out
