Shallow Draft Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 My hood wear bumpers are very soft and falling apart. The new replacements are not the same and it looks like I need to drill 4 small holes to install them. Anybody else done this job and have some advice? thanks 2004 Volvo 630, Freedomline, Rear view camera, Max Brake, Jackalopee, 38 ft 4 horse LQ Platinum, 40ft Jayco Talon toy hauler Http:/www.flickr.com/photos/shallow_draft/ Https://flic.kr/p/fqhyAN You are not lost if you don't care where you are!!

ray.service Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 "ink" the four studs on the new ones and press to leave an impression for drilling. You're drilling plastic. Holes not oversized or they won't grab. Don't know why they are actually there as the hood come nowhere close to hitting them.

But they must have some purpose, maybe on a rough road? 2004 Volvo 630, Freedomline, Rear view camera, Max Brake, Jackalopee, 38 ft 4 horse LQ Platinum, 40ft Jayco Talon toy hauler Http:/www.flickr.com/photos/shallow_draft/ Https://flic.kr/p/fqhyAN You are not lost if you don't care where you are!!

Shallow Draft Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Trish and I did ours right after driving the truck home. We bought from a dealer, who gave us an instruction sheet with them. what sort of instructions did they give? as simple as mark and drill holes? If so what size? Or other instructions? 2004 Volvo 630, Freedomline, Rear view camera, Max Brake, Jackalopee, 38 ft 4 horse LQ Platinum, 40ft Jayco Talon toy hauler Http:/www.flickr.com/photos/shallow_draft/ Https://flic.kr/p/fqhyAN You are not lost if you don't care where you are!!

ray.service Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 the instructions are pretty useless. No hole size and an proceedure with many steps you don't need to do. Also a couple of paper useless templates. Just "ink" the studs and use a caliper to measure the undercut in the "studs". That's the hole size. If you really want them give me an email where I can attach a PDF and I'll send you a copy.
