Have you ever opened it upside down

@Hypersonik - any extra tips?

Yeah, follow Rizlas way of fitting as I completely forgot to!

And be careful with the locking pins - they bend easily which makes fitting them nigh on impossible!

I also coated all shiny metal bits with a thin film of engine oil - try and prevent the rust

Nice work Hyper, looks the dogs and so much easier to work on the car

How do you guys actually fit it properly?

Mine actually rubs and scratch the paint when the hood is closed.

can't you see the pictures from Gav's and Rons 'Hypersoniks' posts?

The only thing I would say is when you attach the brackets to the bonnet (hood) that you make sure your L and R labels (stuck on the brackets) are on the appropriate side of the car.

RISLAR

And just to confuse you, mines the correct way

Hmm not according to the diagrams on the instructions Steve?

I have installed it as per RISLAR instruction where the black bit is at the bottom.

Everything looks fine except the ball thing rubs against the fender.

People who have this knows that the gap between the ball and the fender is very close and mine actually rubs so pretty much there is no gap in between them.

The black bit (piston?) should be at the top, nearest the bonnet. Try them the other way round, see if your problem goes away.
