Show pics, I might be able to help you. I installed these (exact ones) about a month ago, smooth and easy, no issues. I'm wondering if you if you installed them on the correct (driver/passenger side) - the CPC hood hinges and strut-ball-mounts are marked side specific. Also, did you install the struts with the larger-bore tube on the top?

Send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the (very) detailed install instructions I wrote for CJPony, with pics. Maybe you skipped a step...or misplaced a washer...

I found that the bracket for the sound tube rubbed on the strut. I needed to take the sound tube out anyway. The hood now sits down where it belongs.

Here is a link from shelbyamerican.com

Its on the last page. Basically, you take off the sound tube and mount it from underneath. This requires cutting.
