For those of you needing the rubber bumpers for your hood (bonnet), I found www.dormanproducts.com part number 45621 makes a great replacement. You have to trim down the stem so that it will fit in the hole but the topside is cylindrical and offered more support
   surface and a better look. Order more than you need. They also pop out.

thanks..believe it or not I spent an hour in the "Home Depot" slide out parts drawers and a local Ford dealer body shop parts catalog (body misc) in an attempt to find these. Jim

If you have a hood scoop, be careful. The bonnet on a scoop equipped unit is made up of multiple parts. The seam runs down the center and if Autokraf installed a center hood bumper the stress of latching the bonnet will likely cause the center seam to split. If you have a scoop REMOVE the center hood bumper and do witghout to save your hood.

jbottini I did the same thing then found a assortment pack of Dorman at Auto Zone that had this bumper. So I looked them up on the web.
   
   Thanks MkIV. My car does not have a hood scoop.
