correct hood bumpers?

[swisherred]

1967 newport custom 2drFst.

I replaced my fender/hood bumpers awhile back and they seem to keep the hood up some. I dont know if this is a poor fender/hood alignment on my part or if I have the wrong bumper. I found these two pictures, both listed for 67 newport. Can anyone confirm which is correct?

The 2nd picture looks correct to me

the first picture is Steele rubber...which I feel makes a good product, not sure why its different; the second is what I installed from an ebay retailer...maybe its just my panel fitment.

First picture is correct but used only on rear hood to fender. 1 on either side. Front are a smaller version of those. 2nd picture is b body. Dave

The ones I took off of my car more closely resembled the second picture...leads to my confusion.

The bottom picture is what is on my 68 New Yorker.

Although it's been a while since I looked under the hood of either my '66 Newport CL42 or the '67 CE23, I'm inclined to go with "both". I know that on the side, there are two bumpers on the main part of the fender. The hood COMPRESSES the bumper, leaving an imprint and deformation from the edge of the hood structure. The short side goes against the vertical lip on the fender's inner, upper edge. The hood leveler/bumpers look about right, but also usually get deformed from contact with the bottom front of the hood structure.

The upper picture's "pair" don't seem to have any compressibility in them, which means they will be positioned vertically? Which would thwart any lateral hood movement, rather than vertical compression. So, that would put them at the rear corner of the hood/fender interface. Seems like the '69-'72 cars had a hard plastic, spring-loaded "bumper" at the rear hood corners?

Might search the '66-'68 FSM under hood area pictures, or parts book pictures?

The fact that they are new and not compressed could be the reason why your having issues. I had a heck of a time getting my doors to close after changing door rubber, took about 6 months before I didn't have to slam the door anymore. Good Luck
