Does this mean he gets a custom title under his name now? cause if so, I think I need to do a few write ups on how to inflate your tires, put your windows up and down, and how to tie your shoes

I kid, I kid!!!

I want to see the how to tie your shoes write-up! Or maybe make a write up on how to make write ups!

a write up on writeups isnt a bad idea... but theres plenty of good examples, and then theres bad examples as well...

what is this good for?? lol I really wanna kno - is it just for looks? I adjusted mine all the way down... but what is it for????

[adidas2go]

I dunno if its article worthy, but I guarantee a large number of people didn't know what the adjustment knobs were for, or how to do this. At least you did something, ya know?

[theoctopussi]

adidas, do you kno what this is for?

[adidas2go]

yes, they are hood bumpers

[theoctopussi]

so should they be left at full extension, or will it harm anything if lowered? (will affect the clearance under the hood is what I meant)

They are meant to prevent your hood from vibrating and to make sure the hood "pops" when you pull the handle.

When these little suckers die...and they will die one day...you'll need two people to open your hood.

[theoctopussi]

yeah? cuz they're not spring loaded, and they screw in and out easy for adjustment... iono man

[Sentientbydesign]

I'm sure Mr. Pussi...Octopussi hehehe.

The "threaded" part is meant for adjustment. On mine, I adjusted it so it pushed the hood high enough to be level with the fenders. This is usually adequate enough to pop the hood too.

[theoctopussi]

haha mr. pussi... Pussi is my skateboard company is what's funny haha cool ****... thanks!

s forhead

Wow!

ya srry its a technical term that we use in the air force........

it could be a useful article if it was re-worded.

[AZhitman]

I really, really want to hide this thread before anyone with any mechanical knowledge sees it.

[spockrock]

I like how in the 'article' it doesn't actually point out where the hood bumpers are. I am sure we all know where the hood bumpers are but at best this article is half-assed it like saying ok to remove the head lights remove three screws holding it in place without saying where the screws are.

Both of mine fell off somewhere i guess. I open my hood jus fine.. without 2 people. i meant to get them at the dealer the last time i was there but 4got. ill get them this week.

[Sentientbydesign]

Must be nice. That was definitely not the case on my I30.

If I was on flat ground, there was a chance. If I was on a slight incline, forget it! No go!

[theoctopussi]

my hood closes a lot easier with the thingys flat... looks better too

lolleroo, this actually helped me out on a google search. going over bumps I could hear the hood on my 2008 G35 rattle a bit. Never adjusted a hood before
