I'm not convinced I installed them correctly. I put the one that said "Left" on the driver's side (facing the car), and the "Right" on the passenger side.
That's why I said fat side because it's kinda confusing what's what. What I call fat part is the cylinder and I have on the hood and the piston side I have going to the fender. That's what the instructions I got said but if I remember right the part # from MOPAR showed left and right backwards.I don't remember, but does the part that attaches to the hood move? I ask because I have red on driver's side and green on passenger side.
I have mine installed with the fat side to the hood and the skinny side to the fender. What the heck?That's why I said fat side because it's kinda confusing what's what.

That's how mine are but I don't understand why the colors are wrong. The hood looks the same on both sides so I don't think it would matter as long as the fat side was toward the hood.I have mine installed with the fat side to the hood and the skinny side to the fender. What the heck?
I've opened and closed the hood a few times and it seems to working just fine. Just went out and took a few pics. I'll try and post up later.
It was for the hood brace... No need for it with the struts and it looks much cleaner.I didn't have to drill out anything. There was a hole already there and the ball was self threading . It looks like you have an RT so I don't know why you had to drill out a rivet.
