Title: Rubber Push-in Bumpers for Rear of Hood - Left, Center, & Right
Post by: MoparCarGuy on January 16, 2023, 11:00:22 AM
Anyone know the details on the rubber hood bumpers at the rear of the hood? There are three holes (left and right corners plus the center).
I ordered a set from Dale's Cuda Shop https://www.dalescudashop.com/1970-71-72-73-74-challenger-hood-rear-19707172737429002662784714.html (https://www.dalescudashop.com/1970-71-72-73-74-challenger-hood-rear-19707172737429002662784714.html)

The kit has three of the tall bumpers two short and one tall which is correct. The corner bumpers are shorter on the cars I have seen. Do the corners compress over time and just appear to be shorter?
EDITED above thanks to Alan and Dale's (Quirey) for having the answers.

I agree, corner ones are shorter :alan2cents:

I just got off the phone with Dale's Cuda Shop. Dale's was bought out by Quirey Quality Design.
The website is incorrect for Item 23x3 so do not order that 3-piece kit. Instead, order their Challenger Rear Hood Bumper kit (Item: 23x122x2) or, if you need the other pieces, their regular kit (CTH5WCU) which has two short and two tall (1 extra tall that is not needed) plus two side bumpers and two rubber caps for the threaded adjusters in the front.
They are sending me two short and one tall (Item: 23x122x2), pictured below. Problem solved.

Looks good, your paint is so shiny back there :drooling:  that it's hard to tell how tall they are, but you've got it figured out, which is good

I see what you mean, Alan. The reflection doubles the thickness of the bumpers.  8)
