Product Description:
This new reproduction hood bump-stop kit is designed for 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird models and replaces the adjustable contact pieces that support and stabilize the closed hood.
Renewing the worn rubber and plastic contact points can help reduce hood movement and rattles while providing a sound basis for factory-style hood-height adjustment.

Hood Height and Stability

Application-Specific Components
The Camaro and Firebird kits are not assumed interchangeable. Use the exact kit for the vehicle, year range and hood configuration shown in the fitment table.
Inspect the Whole System
A bump-stop kit cannot correct bent hinges, a worn latch, collision damage or incorrect body geometry. Resolve those faults before final adjustment.
- 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 does this kit do?
It renews the adjustable hood contact points used for support, alignment and rattle control.
Is it a universal kit?
No. It is specific to the stated F-Body vehicle and model-year range.
Will it repair worn hood hinges?
No. Hinge and latch condition must be evaluated separately.
What original references apply?
GM 10277069 and 10413888.
How should the stops be adjusted?
Make small, even changes and verify hood height, latch engagement and panel clearance after each adjustment.
