Three Hood Bumpers above the Cowl at the Rear of the Hood

[MoparCarGuy]

I wanted to post this info to assist anyone who might be missing the three rubber bumpers at the rear of their hood for a 1970 Barracuda/Cuda. I discovered I was missing these bumpers after attending the Mecum Auction at Kissimmee. These are a small detail but serve their purpose well.
I purchased them from Dale's Cuda Shop. The website Item No. is 23x122x3 and includes one tall and two short bumpers. They item says for Challenger but it is also for the Cuda.


The installation looks simple but did not go so easy. The passenger side bumper slipped right into the hole with no problem. I used a little dishsoap on it. Same for the driver side. The center bumper was a bit more challenging. I guess the hole was reduced in size due to paint. I ended up trimming the bumper ever so slightly with some side cutters (diagonals) and it popped right in. I hope this helps anyone who may be missing these bumpers.

Here are some pics. Note: the reflection of the bumper in the paint makes them look taller (doubles the size). Just an illusion.

Good deal the Devil is in the Details!

Not only that but with the hood installed, that middle one is little tough to get to.

What if you use lube in the middle?
