I put a set of these on too, and used foam for the ears for the paint in the hood, just be keep an eye on those bolts where the 2 are screwed together they worked loose and I lost half of one of them. So I just went back to OEM. probably should had used locktite on them.

I put the same latches on TDSR (and didn’t make a video; dang it) and had the exact same problem. I went with the shimming solution but yours is more elegant. Nicely done!

@@ForceBuilt I miss it because it was fun to work on and it was finally getting to where it wasn’t just fixing things to keep it running. But it was always nerve wracking since it seemed to always be a small step away from giving up the ghost. I do wonder what it’s up to now. I wish it could send me a postcard…

I had an issue with this when I replaced mine. I just put a small piece of foam tape where it touched the paint.

Jon, that was considered. There are several ways to go about it.

Ha I just a set of these on mine last weekend. I had to cut the bolt off the bottom mount because it was rusted. Mine were too long and I had to move the top mount higher on the side of the hood.
