I ordered my shock tower & radiator covers on the 3rd and they emailed me they were shipping on the 13th so I called today and their painting them today and shipping Monday. Even though I'm not in a hurry I hate waiting!

I popped the hood after having them on for several weeks, and noticed the driver side one had popped off? Did notice when installing them, that this one in particular had a lot more movement side to side than that of the passenger. Anyone else have this issue? I also inspecected the underside, and notthing looks to be broken.

Thanks

My passenger side fits looser than the drivers side. I attribute this due to the center strut stud isn't quite centered on the passenger side from the time I did my lowering spring install. I mean it's barely off center, but enough to make snapping the cover on a bit difficult.

As the front suspension moves, so does that center strut stud. If off center, it will pop off as you drive. If yours are dead center, examine the 4 retaining clips to see if one is bent too far in (or damaged) and not engaging the hole cut-out.
