    Bought a set from TPP and couldn't be more disappointed. Does anyone repro a set worth buying? Thanks, Tom

    I bought a set of those from TPP. They fit after I cut about 1/3 off the end of each, and they were still a real pain to snap in.

    I have yet to find a good source for these. The aftermarket ones I've seen all need to be Cut to fit. BOOTLEG!

    I don't understand how 50 years later we can't replicate parts better!!
    50 years ago we put a man on the moon. Today, we can't replicate a hood to fender bumper.
    GRRRRRR

    Hey, I just bought these from TPP and realized I need to cut them as well. My question is, how do you install them? What is the trick to get them in enough to catch? I don’t want to Scratch the fresh paint.

    How I did it: little liquid soap on them, then pushed them in with a wood block and used a Popsicle stick to squeeze in the parts that kept popping back out. Some went in fairly easy, but I didn't think a couple of them would ever go in. If I remember right, I had to carve a little rubber off of 1 or 2 to finally get them to go in. I think my fender paint was a too thick (epoxy primer, high build 2k primer, base coat, clear coat), which made the hole smaller than it should have been.
