I just got my Tein Hood dampers in and I followed the instructions to a tee. Now, it does'nt seem like my hood wants to close. Please tell me what I did or am doing wrong.

 

I compressed my dampers before installing. sorta just to break them in, ya know? Did you do that? I remember when I first compressed the dampers by hand, they were super hard to push down. I had to use all my weight. Then after compressing them 6-7 times, they were compressing a lot smoother. Careful not to pull down too hard on your hood... it will bend. Good luck.

 

Yeah I had to push mine down really hard the first time also. Almost felt like they weren't working. I like the break in idea.

Got it.....thanks for the tip. Seemed awfully damn hard to close at first but once you comress em a couple times it's cool.Thanks.

 

yeah just push down on them using the floor. they should "pop" a little. after that you're good to go..

 

u'd think being a tein product, it would come with adjsutable dampening, maybe even an EDFC option
