So I removed the factory air dam or splash guard and now my hood flaps like crazy!(never did before) My question to you guys is how the hell do I get those retainers back in??? I want to use the factory dam for now until I get my bumper but it seems like the retainer is bigger than the hole it came out of. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Are your retainers 2 part fasteners, one inside the other?

 

Just remove the spring on the hood, this will pretty much stop the hood flutter.

 

yes they are

 

I tried it made it hit really hard when it fluttered so I just wanna go back for now

 

Have you tried to insert them with the center part pulled out about a quarter inch?

 

yes I have

 

I spent the $20 on daystar straps.

 

All I can say then is, give them a good shove. If they are the ones that came out, they will go back in.

 

tell me about these straps
