Hood bumpers

Pete Whitstone
My 81 came with no hood bumpers at all, so I ordered part 41-1585 from LMC. It arrived looking like this:



It appears to be made of hard plastic. The "cup" at the top has no give to it. I can't imagine closing the hood hard on this thing, surely it will break. I'm thinking there is a rubber piece that goes on top of this, but there is nothing on the LMC site about that, nor do internet searches turn up anything.

I tried searching on this site, I found a lot of information about hoods and bumpers, but nothing specific to this. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I didn't know the actual Ford product was still out there, or I might have gone for it.

Anyhow, I screwed them in and slowly raised them until it felt like they were just in contact with the hood, all seems good.

Thanks for your help!
