Embarrassing question - how do engine lid rubber buffers attach?.
 
In my defense I fitted a reproduction ducktail spoiler, but not clear how they are located. Is there supposed to be a stub they get pressed onto?

Thanks

They thread on, the lid should have a hole that is beveled out to receive the threaded rubber stubs.

Thanks Shane. Looks like I need to open up those mounting points.

It's ok, you don't need to be embarrassed when asking how to attach a rubber buffer... We've all been there ;)

To put on the rubber, practice on a banana first. ;)

...or, if you don't want to drill holes your new lid, a little JB Weld (quickset variety) or 3M weatherstrip adhesive adhesive will work - just trim the bumper to length with a razor.

Some of the aftermarlet tails are all fiberglass and lack the same sort of hole that is found in a stock lid. Before you start drilling, compare the two lids. You may have to install a different buffer, or install it in a different way.

That is the issue I am trying to finger out, I'll need to compare my lid to a stock one and figure something out I guess.
