Icon3 F&F TYPE IIs??

So I was driving and i noticed a loud clunking noise coming from the front driver side, and when i hit a bump somehow the top hat came off of the coilovers and the struts popped up and dented my hood. has anyone ever had problems with this? and did anyone try fixing it or sent it off to F&F? if so how did u fix it, The struts still go up and down and has pressure in it without any grease or oil, so im assuming it didnt blow, just the top hat and bushin came loose.

common problem. happened to a few people i know with those cheap crap coilovers. looks like you're missing the retaining ring.

I dont know why you wouldn't want to send back to FF.

If that happened to me I would be on the phone with FF that second and would have been discussing what they were gonna do about my hood.
