Product Description:
These new reproduction hood side bump stops are designed for 1982-1992 Pontiac Firebird, Formula and Trans Am models and replace the small rubber cushions located along the sides of the hood opening.
The four-piece set helps stabilize the hood in its closed position, isolate contact points and restore the factory-style fit of original stops that have hardened, cracked or gone missing.

Restored Hood Contact
A matched set of four renews the rubber contact points that help steady the hood and limit direct contact with adjacent structure.
Firebird-Specific Set
HM10017997 is cataloged for the 1982-1992 Firebird platform and references GM 10017997. It should not be selected solely because a Camaro part appears similar.
Complete Alignment Diagnosis
Persistent hood movement can also result from hinge wear, latch adjustment, collision damage or incorrect adjustable-stop height. Inspect the entire system during installation.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, switch off the ignition and allow the vehicle to cool.
- Photograph the original component and note its position before removal.
- Remove the old part carefully without damaging the surrounding painted or molded surfaces.
- Compare the reproduction with the original and verify the application before final installation.
- Clean the contact area and correct any damaged attachment points before fitting the new component.
- Install the replacement evenly in its intended location without forcing or distorting it.
- Close or operate the related panel slowly and check alignment, clearance and contact.
- Reinspect the installation after the first drive and make any service-manual adjustments required.
What is included?
One set of four reproduction hood side bump stops.
Does the set fit Formula and Trans Am models?
Yes. Hawks lists it for 1982-1992 Firebird applications, including compatible Formula and Trans Am models.
Is this the Camaro set?
No. This is the Pontiac Firebird-specific HM10017997 set.
What original number does it replace?

Can these correct a badly misaligned hood?
They restore the side contact points, but damaged hinges, latch issues or structural misalignment must be corrected separately.
